Our day passage on the Spirit of Tasmania is uneventful and very restful. As we had booked a cabin we had our own space for the day and made the most of it. The ship was full and the cabin is as close to being Covid safe as we could be. We took an esky with sandwiches and drinks so we basically dug in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did a couple of walks around the ship for a leg stretch and managed some sleep as well. The Spirit docks in Devonport about 30 minutes late and we roll off in the Jayco at 7pm. There is a free camp at Horsehead Creek just over a km from the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Horsehead RV stop is closed off due to some Hazmat emergency. We stop out the front on the verge and we are soon joined by a couple of other campers. We all have a chat and decide the verge will do for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we enjoy a quiet evening on the verge and a good sleep. Whist we\u2019re having a coffee next morning a lady from the council pulls up and apologises for the stop being closed and says there\u2019s no problem if we want to stay another night. Coffee done we unload the bikes and head off to explore Devonport<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
