Hi Peter, thanks for your help, the change seems to do the trick in this case.

Perhaps one could make some educated guess on how much time a
ferry-crossing will take based on the estimated_distance. But still,
there are so many other factors that can disrupt a ferry-crossing -
while this ferry in particular fares all day in either direction as
soon as it has loaded a few passengers, others follow a set schedule,
and a schedule which is limited to certain hours of the day at that.

Perhaps it would be possible to build multiple indexes/graphs, one
that accommodates avoiding ferries, another one that optimises for
distance instead of speed, etc.
