There is hope for a smoother sailing for passengers looking to cross Cook Strait over the coming months.
\\nInterislander\'s Kaitaki ferry is returning to service today after being out for more than a month due to a gearbox issue.
\\nBoth the Bluebridge and Interislander companies have suffered mechanical breakdowns in recent months, leading to hundreds of passenger bookings being canned.
\\nExecutive General Manager, Walter Rushbrook told Tim Dower it\'s great the ship is back on the Strait, and it\'s a perfect day for sailing.
