I was struck, as the defs for this round came in, by how believable
all your defs for GERLIND were, and this is reflected in the good
spread of votes. The next deal goes to Russ Heimerson with 5
natural points for his hawk's wing-tie, while Chuck Emery and Paul
Keating share the real winner's position with a reefing strap and
the Danish levy. Two of you guessed correctly that a GERLIND is a
salmon making its second return from the sea.
Thanks to you all for playing. Over to you, Russ.
