Hello, all. Sorry about the delay. I was missing a couple of orders at the deadline, and then got caught up in work when they all came in. As today is Canada Day, I now have oodles of time to get this out. This was a very interesting round with some bold moves. I like those. Most bold of all was Oceania's move for Honolulu. I'll let you see that for yourselves (and I warn you, the adjudication for it has a high chance of being erroneous).
As a result of some of those bold moves, we have a number of retreats to resolve, and given that this is a long weekend for most of us, those will be due on Monday. See you then!
