13a M & A are wrong
defn is "plant" starts with w (wife)

24a T,H are wrong - usual 4 letter synonym fpr heather with Y inside

5d yes
7d cream is the dairy product - lose the m , then add 2 letter synonym for cattle
Yes, veinous for 5: almost an anagram of "souvenir"

You are welcome Matakari.

I'm not sure the quotation is actually attributable to JFK
regardless of QDQ !
Question Author
I googled Kennedy family and famous quotes with tide and boats and that's what I got. Many thanks again!
