Glad you made it all right on that voyage. On my trip, the Lady of Mann rammed the dock in Douglas just as we were all going down to get on our bikes. Everyone was trapped in the hold for 20 minutes, with bikes on their sides leaking petrol, until they could get the doors open and we could ride out (my bike, and my friend's were on center stands, so they did not fall over).
