Er ... G'day,

I'm glad you revived this thread after I set off on my holiday to Tasmania this February ... sailing the Bass Strait, both ways, on the "Spirit of Tasmania" ... a sister ship to the "Herald of Free Enterprise".

A mechanical problem on my Sydney - Melbourne leg meant that I sailed one trip later - with the car held up on "stand-by" until the last minute. I parked just inside the stern loading ramps ... and made damned sure they locked and sealed them! ("Charley Noble" suggests this may have robbed him of the chance to write a great new maritime disaster song ... but No Thanks!

Regards,

Bob Bolton
