Friday 5th / Saturday 6th Dec 2008 - Loading at Devonport went very smoothly though we could not say the same for the crossing. I am convinced that the Spirit was performing icebreaking duties in the middle of Bass Strait. We seemed to be hitting large lumps of something around 1.30 in the morning and it was hard to get any sleep until we passed the Heads into Port Philip Bay around 5 am.
We were off the boat and set up to have breakfast among the early morning joggers by 7.30. Then we had to find a route home that did not require use of the right hand indicator as this was causing very strange things to happend to the rev counter and temperature gauge not to mention the odd stall, which also happened whenever the headlights were turned on! When we got home I traced this to a couple of loose relays on the fuse box, which is anoying as we had been driving like this for three days - and I was blaming it on being a Land Rover!
