The Spirit of Tasmania is in Freo for the weekend, on its way to Melbourne.
@samwilson @dean This is the second one, Spirit of Tasmania V.
Its sibling ship Spirit of Tasmania IV is currently docked at Williamstown (it's also spent time in Scotland, Geelong and Hobart, among others).
They were not able to be brought into service (Devonport–Geelong) on schedule because the port facilities at Devonport have not been built yet. Maybe October if we're lucky, I think (or was it last October … it's all a bit of a blur).
Spirit V will be used as a venue for Dark Mofo in Hobart in July because you can't make this shit up.
@ibk @samwilson haha party boat!
@dean Yep it's the one that's been stuck in Scotland for a year or something while they fixed up Devonport.
