After a chilly 2 degree C start to the day it turned out very nice. Since Tasmania closed its borders at the start of the pandemic the Spirit of Tasmania is staying put.

Love your photos for their quality and the memories that they bring back. Have probably done the crossing ten or twelve times. Most were enjoyable but not so the first. As a young man I sought economy and had a seat for the night crossing. Bad choice as the seat had no head support and this caused a night of many wakeful periods but worst of all, when I woke I had to physically grab my head from its sideways slump and bring it back to upright position. Rather sore in the morning. I married in Tasmania and subsequent trips were in cabins.

Glad they brought you some pleasant memories. Tasmania is a very nice place I must say but I have yet to experience the trip by sea.

Very nice photo, TS. I really like #1. I assume the purpose of all the pilings is to break up the surf. Makes for an interesting photo.

The piles are the remains of the major section of Princes Pier - this was a major dock in Melbourne and from 1915 to 1969 served as the primary arrival point for new migrants.

There is no surf in this area and the smoothness of the water in the photos, is pretty typical. Melbourne is located on Port Phillip Bay and this is a quite large, almost totally enclosed, horseshoe shaped, bay.
