Fumes is all there'd be left in most bikes Col 👍
How many kilometres had you travelled ? Two up makes quite a difference too.

Our crossing got cancelled because the swell exceeded the limits set for our ferry. We managed to change from the Bluebridge company to the Interislander.
Sailing was at 4pm now postponed until 5pm.
I guess they didn't have enough life jackets and brown paper bags ready ??

Hope you have good tie downs with ya Col.

Once ya get onboard and get it tied down, straight into the bar n get a few down ya, that way you won't notice the pitching so much & you got the sounds to sober up  ;) before the trip to Kaikoura.  Getting in at 8pm ish you may stay in Picton?  Marlin motel is close to ferries n reasonable.

With me on it, my bike thinks it's always 2 up!

I couldn't possibly comment Col.

Going to stay at Waikawa Bay if they have room.
