Hope you have a good trip. Make sure you sleep on the bottom bunk. 18 meter waves recorded on the west coast the other day. and a sailor died after being washed overboard in the channel last night in
Hobart.

We caught the Devil Cat over a few years ago. It was like a carnival ride that wouldn't stop. I wondered why there were a lot of people asleep before we left Port Phillip. Everyone who was conscious was so sea sick it was unbelievable. Mike

I feel sorry for you. Did the trip last year in roughish weather and it was terrible, worst ship ever. Never seen a ship pitch and roll like that one in average sea's.

You will not get me on another boat, in Bass Straight
I can still feel the effects of going out on a Cray Boat off King Island, after a big storm, when we lived there, in the late 70's and early 80's.
Best "burlee" trail you have ever seen.
And for years I could not even watch boats on the TV..
Keep it mate... I'll fly to Tassie every time.
Have a safe trip, and keep it all down
Cheers
Bucky
