Crossword Genius

Broadcast a lunatic marine (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nautical

'marine' is the definition.
('nautical' can be a synonym of 'marine')

'broadcast a lunatic' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'lunatic'='alunatic'
'alunatic' anagrammed gives 'NAUTICAL'.

(Other definitions for nautical that I've seen before include "Marine" , "Maritime" , "Of sailors or ships" , "about boats" , "Relating to sailors" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
