Re: Voyaging on a small income... Started reading it... Shouldn\'t have...
I was on holiday in Ireland a few years ago and met the owners of Mudskipper. They had just arrived from the Med and were tied up by the quay in Castletownbere, they caught me being nosy and asked me aboard for breakfast. I had to catch my bus and so couldn't stay but I have often thought about where they are now and once asked the question on this forum if anyone knew of their whereabouts - no reply. The thing that impressed me most about their story was that they bought a house in Paramatta Australia just for the wood that it was built of. They demolished it to build their boat.
It was an article in PBO edition March 2009 by Pete Fry that got me searching again. Anyone know where they are now?
