shore leave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'a craftsman's' is the first definition.

'time off?' is the second definition.
(shore leave is a kind of time off)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shore leave that I've seen before include "rest of the crew" , "Time off for sailors in port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
