The editor replies: Yes, for up to two months a year, from your account page. The bicycle courier has also been told, and is relieved.
The courier, as promised. On time, give or take.

Dear Harbour Lights, The ferry exists. Does your courier know?

Dear Harbour Lights, Most of it is free somewhere.
