The sailing was uneventful and the weather lovely a warm with a little breeze. It was a bit of a struggle getting off the ferry because we had to do a U-Turn, but Justin managed it without difficulty:)

| On board the Interislander ferry, Northbound. |
Tonight we stayed at Marton because it's a great place to stop midway between Cambridge and the West Coast. It's also an easy site to get in and out of and only a short walk to the town for coffee or fish & chips. By coincidence there were 2 other Jayco Silverline owners there that night too - so we spent some time comparing notes on modifications and customer service experiences. Justin cooked a curry and shared it around. It was good fun to see what modifications others had done to make their caravan's more homely. These families were heading out for their adventure, while we were heading home (for a short while at least).

There's apparently some 1080 poison buried in landfill at Marton - left over from an operation that went wrong. Not sure whether its this (secret) knowledge or something else that gives Marton such a strange atmosphere - but certainly I was glad to be back home in sunny (and very humid) Cambridge...
