Had a few rough crossings on that, not pleasant memories I can tell you. If you have a cabin then it’s bearable on a rough trip but only just.

Gee I threw up a lot when I was on that. Everything was fine until we went through the heads and out into Bass Strait. Would not do it again if I can avoid it.

I had those conditions coming back from Tassie one day. Almost 100kph winds all the way back, being on the deck chairs was a nightmare

I wonder how bad the weather had to be for them to cancel.
Coz yesterday was pretty crazy weather.

Imagine further out in the ocean.

They nearly cancelled our ferry back from Rottness island, because of bad weather.
We were told that you are less likely to get seasick if you stay outside. That being said, more and more people left our area as we struggled returning to our table with jugs of beer.
Go figure
