About Cook Strait

Cook Strait is a strait that separates the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The strait connects the Tasman Sea on the northwest with the South Pacific Ocean on the southeast. It is 22 kilometres (14 mi) wide at its narrowest point, and has been described as "one of the most dangerous and unpredictable waters in the world". Regular ferry services run across the strait between Picton in the Marlborough Sounds and Wellington.

Actually, I wonder if we should ship our potholes there, though. The actual thing is that they're talking about the ferry that links the North and South Islands through the Cook Strait. Legally, it's considered a road. They're in disrepair at the moment, the ferries.
