Well, that was the theory. The ferry was full and we were told that we'd drive straight on and then later straight ahead and out the door on the other side. It didn't turn out that way because the area was too crowded hence having to squeeze in by turning 90* and parking with the trailer still at 90* to the truck.

When exiting I had to back up and of course there wasn't anyway to change the direction the trailer was pointed so the back end went out over the drop off to the water. Added a bit of excitement to the day.
