I thought I'd implied it. I was replying to someone who said he would never
use SpeedFerries for that reason.

Oddly enough I did this early in May this year, but with Anek not Strintzis
lines. At that time the ferry was only about half full and we got put on the
open deck where people sleep in their camper vans. This was excellent as we
could return to the car at any time. There was plenty of room - no reversing
or anything like that and the whole experience was quite relaxing.
