Blimey, thats going back, soton-cherbourg on the stena, good times 
used to get on the bilbao boat a fair bit when it was p&o, remember a lot of john manns trucks, dts etc, and a couple of brothers from harwich doing removals to marbella.
it could be a rough crossing on there, but most of the time It was ok.
I remember talking to the irish bar man about rough crossings, and he said tbe only time you ever have to worry is when the crew start donning their life jackets
You may remember the two old men that did the marshalling at Cherbourg.
They were ex Canadian service men that met French women and never went home after the war.
Tbh toby, I don’t.
I remember that bloody pinnochio though 
Pinnocio the legend.Gendarme on a motorbike.He would sit on top of the hill watching for English and Irish trucks with his binoculars.
The rumour was a Paddy braked too hard on purpose when Big nose was too close behind the truck.
Had a crash,then a chip on his shoulder.

true, regularly been on small ferrys in storms that made lorrys in the hold topple over… have no idea what sea sickness is aboutSame here … have never suffered from sea sickness and the rougher it is the better. Mind you, I did object on Xmas Eve on the North Sea when I fell out of bed the third time. LOL (Was on the freighter out of Europoort to Harwich)
The only time I’ve been sea sick is on small sailing yachts. Never been ill on a ferry, in fact I enjoy it when its rough. The amazing Ulysses sailed in 100mph winds during the week, like some loon I wished I was on it. What a ship. Apparently the most reliable ferry in he world, has never cancelled due to weather. Irish Ferries Epsilon hasn’t faired so well though, that had a truck roll over on it last week! And all the others crash into each other. That would be upsetting. Had mine break free once on Celtic Link with some others, but just my trailer, swang side to side and smashed a Spanish Scania to bits. Mine was one of the few unhurt units. Did struggle to sleep though, all I could hear was people being sick in the cabins around me.

The white line where my feet are reflected in the window, that’s the top of a wave coming over the bows.
It was a bit bouncy that night
It’s old but it’s still impressive…
