Geday! all,been looking about your site for a couple of months and now that i have worked out most of the gearing i had better intro myself.semiretired fortunate to have a paddle boat moored in the wetdock at Echuca (aus).Great to be able to wake up on the Murray on a clear morning and simply go for a cruse.Will add to more discussions when I get More confident.

Welcome aboard. 

Not knowing the Murray personally though we are kept well informed of its comings and goings, i have to admit to a little jealousy  as i am sat here on a teabreak at work where you can simply go for a cruise anytime    

Hi PD's......& yes uncle bob.... ...you are all ready on board....take time....read the threads on our WEB site & as time progresses ... post a little more on your vessel

Derek....[just up the road a bit to the north/east & around the corner in Wollongong... .....]

Welcome indeed.  Conceivably we spoke briefly in Echuca during the QEII Diamond Jubilee regatta.
I'll shift to pm to see if you are keen on a Nov. or Dec. or Jan. adventure to Tocumwal.
I had planned to do it one way, upstream.

Love the Billy Tea! Welcome aboard! It's good to have some of the owners of paddlers on here too, lots of information can be gathered from experience.

I am jealous on both counts. I'd love to visit Australia and i'd also love to own a full size paddler. I have neither...... :-(
