Tasmania

After a very early start we were off on our journey across the Bass Straight, The sea was a mill pond today, very smooth indeed. They put a big chock under the tyre of my Spyder and some tie down straps onto the handle bars, none of the cars had straps and they didn't even use the stabilising bars because it was so smooth.

The Ship has a cinema on it so I watched a couple of great movies, Bran nue Dae, and the latest Shirlock Holmes movie. The journey seemed to be very quick and even though we left half an hour late from Melbourne we made it by 7pm which was the normal expected time. There was a delay getting off the dock as every car was checked for fruit and fresh food by the quarantined service.

I was a little worried that I might get sea sick that didn't happen, well not on the boat anyway. When I arrived at the hotel I checked in and decided to go down for dinner, that's when my problems started I spiked a temp and started to sweat like a pig, waves of dizziness overtook me and I new I had to get to my room as quick as possible. Without going into to much detail I was very sick eventually I settled down and went to sleep. I woke up feeling reasonably well this morning however I have decided to not do any riding until tomorrow.
