About this board

No patch is fixed at the start, yet every clue has a number, so this one is all about crossings. Long horizontal pieces, a 7, a 14, a wide 12, a wide 7 and a 9, run across the board, met at the edges by two tall 7s. Almost every patch settles because some cell can only belong to it, often a cell at the far end of a long row.
