No? Spew Cat—it says it all. Anyway, I don't want to spew on, but the Devil Cat is no longer because it had issues sailing through rough weather. I think you've probably guessed that already, right? We can't do anything about the cost of flights because subsidising flights is a financial commitment beyond what we can afford. So where does all this leave us? We're waiting for two new ferries that won't be able to take their full capacity until sometime in 2026 because of the port issues. That's what we have to do—keep waiting.

The combination of ferries and planes is what works for us. If you have a vehicle and you want to make it to the mainland, the Spirits are your best option.
