Interesting comment of yours, FB. One of the crew members told us that the boat we were on was unique and the biggest of its kind in the world and we believed him.
Maybe the same guy also has a furniture factory which makes "antiques while you wait" and sells GENUINE Rolex Oysters for only AU$20!
My wife was prone to sea-sickness and had an easy ride over in what I would call less than moderate seas, certainly not completely flat. Coming back on the modern ferry built south of Fremantle, it wasn't rough, but the boat shuddered and bumped in what we were told was the tidal race.
