Paddle Boat News

Does anyone know what has happened with the Paddle Boat News http://www.slimpage.com.au/pbn/ site? It seems to have been abandoned with no updates since April and the "Upcoming Events" mentioning the Goolwa Wooden Boat Festival of six months ago.

A pity if it has gone as it was a good source of info.

Stephenf10.......if you check the last April posting on page 3, Captain Frank offers the following comment.......Derek

"THIS WILL BE MY LAST PBN FOR A FEW MONTHS …. KAY & I WILL BE GREY-NOMADING IT UP THROUGH THE CENTRE AND DOWN THE WEST COAST FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS MAYBE MORE, FROM MID MAY"


Then later on in the same posting says .......

"PS: I am off touring our great country in mid May, so won’t be able to follow up on this until we return, probably not until September".

Stephen.....I had spoken with Frank Tucker some 12 years ago [but did not meet him] when I was trying to locate the hulk of PS Decoy

Frank kindly supplied the detail which led us on a visit to Mannum and the hulk/houseboat home of Dick Bromhead ....being the remains of Decoy

Franks WEB site "Paddle Boat News" it is a good thread with interesting articles an old images
