Islanders can rest at sea (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cretans

'islanders' is the definition.
(I know this)

'can rest at sea' is the wordplay.
'at sea' indicates anagramming the letters.
'can'+'rest'='canrest'
'canrest' is an anagram of 'CRETANS'.

(Another definition for cretans that I've seen is " These islanders".)
