African explorer follows latitude line to manoeuvre into bay (8,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parallel-park

'to manoeuvre into bay' is the definition.

'african explorer follows latitude line' is the wordplay.
'african explorer' becomes 'park' (Mungo Park, explorer of Africa).
'follows' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'latitude line' becomes 'parallel'.
'park' put after 'parallel' is 'PARALLEL-PARK'.
