After a couple of hours loading her up and preparing her for the trip to her new home she is first transported to Opua to meet the car ferry. However, because of weight (around 15 tons), length and ground clearance of the trailer we are unable to drive her onto the car ferry at anything other than a full tide. The angle of the ramp onto the drive-on ferry being too steep at any other state of tide.Early the next day, when the tide is full, across on the ferry she comes and arrives in Russell. The photo shows her being backed into our driveway.
