We set off early in order to avoid any problems with loading the trailer. As it was, there were no problems and we sat on the wealth for an hour waiting to board the ship. The upside being that we were one of the first vehicles to board.
Driving onto The Spirit of Tasmania II
We had picked a good day to sail as the sea was fairly flat but the heat outside was so intense that the outside smoking decks on level 7 were closed due to grease from the life boat rigging was liquefying and dripping all over the deck. That met regularly visiting decks 9 and 10 with limited air conditioning.

Leaving Port Philip Bay
Maintaining a level of sobriety so I could drive to Bridport upon arrival made the journey very long. Lots of reading and games of Backgammon. We were relieved when we finally docked in Devonport.

Arriving in Devonport
After waiting 1.5 hours to clear quarantine, we setoff for Bridport at 8 o’clock which meant it would be after dark before we arrived.
