I’m now booked for my journey on the Spirit of Tasmania, across Bass Strait, from Melbourne to Devonport. I’m glad I did it last night as there were few bookings available. I had tried before, but found it a little challenging so backed out.
Last night, despite some hiccups, I managed to book so I have that sorted. I was going to spend a few days in Melbourne before I went on the Spirit of Tasmania, but now will drive from Sale and go straight onto the Spirit.
Here is some info about the Spirit of Tasmania

I have my sea sick tablets too. That is one of the things that I will worry about. It is often a rough trip, and I am not good with sea travel so I am prepared. I did not book a bed, but a recliner chair. I’ll take a blanket and hope I manage it.
One of my tasks over the next few days is to list places I want to visit in Tasmania and now I have my dates for being there I can book accommodation.
Today is my last day to get organised and I will pack the car, and hopefully be ready to set off early tomorrow morning.
I will go via Kilcoy, Esk, and so avoid the city. It does add a few kms but also avoids any tolls and peak hour Monday traffic, so I am all set with that.
I am still having a few challenges with the GPS in the car, but even if I can’t get it perfect yet, I have enough to do what I want to do. I know the way, mostly. It is just within a city/town where I am seeking a specific address that I may be challenged, and of course I have my phone GPS for that.
Ready, set, go.
