The Spirit of Tasmania II was waiting for us in Melbourne.
We bought fuel at Tintinara (diesel @125.7/l).
We stopped for a cuppa at Kaniva.
We stopped at Stawell bakery for pies and some of their award winning vanilla slice with a cup of tea.
We think we probably didn't follow the best route to the ferry terminal, but we made it before 5.30, which gave us time to sort out our gear to take on board. You are allowed to carry on a bag each for your overnight needs. The rest stays in the car.
We passed the quarantine check (you are allowed to take green salad prepackaged and cooked vegetables) and were allowed to take our place in the line waiting to board. Then the waiting started. We amused ourselves by looking for the Lloyds, who were also waiting to board the boat.
Tea with the Lloyds and catching up with the Radfords were highlights of the trip across the waves.

Thanks to the new sea sickness medication and a light sea we both survived the crossing well, even taking in both food and drink on the way.
