	I accidentally guessed the bond after "lift."

	The description should indicate whether or not the common bond is part of the word ladder (in this case, it is).

	I was like "VESTLIFE?" Oh...

	BrokenBahamut: The Bible refers to Eve as Adam's helpmate.

	To add to my previous comment - it actually says 'help meet' i.e. a help, fit for purpose - but over the years it has become 'helpmate'

	You don't need vest in there, because you're changing the letter again to pest. Go from best to pest, and this is a 5-orb word ladder, but vest threw me off.

	Or maybe go from vest to vast to past. This way you still have vest, which is part of the theme and changing-a-letter-in-the-same-position flaw is avoided.

	How long before the word for "use the phone" becomes "text".

	@Mimbleton: Thanks for including me in a clue, but you got it backwards: It's "Time and tide ...", not "Tide and time ...". That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! Nice ladder, btw. :-)

	How "Canute" be so sure? (groan) - Thanks TnT!

	Gotta love "navel detritus."

	Wow I got the bond by complete coincedence. I saw boat, vest and line and it made me think of 'life of pi' so I tried it and it was life. That was weird.
