From the transcript
Luis put a lot of ideas out there, and I think it's the same as you saying, we need to get your input, would be great. Right now we have booked the Aurora with the shipyard, and we're set for a start date of October 1st. We've made a commitment with them, but if there's, like was just stated, if there's some value in delaying that a couple weeks, we can have that conversation with the yard and see if that's possible. We'd be glad to do that. And, um, also on the Whittier, uh, I haven't personally looked at that.
