Badly hoarse when on dry land (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ashore

'on dry land' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'badly hoarse' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates an anagram.
'hoarse' anagrammed gives 'ASHORE'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ashore that I've seen before include "Beached" , "beach" , "On land (as opposed to the sea)" , "Going on land from sea" , "Hoarse (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
