What experiences have you had on the Cook Straight ferries?
Passengers on the ferries on Tuesday evening had a "marathon" trip as very high winds in the Picton harbour made it impossible for the ships to dock on time. Were you on one of Tuesday's ferries? Have you had a similar experience? Have you had a particularly rough/frightening crossing? If you were booked to travel on Wednesday, did you experience huge delays?
