G'day FFF'ers. Has anyone heard anything of a Boating Accident at Dundee last Friday?

nope. is this going to be part two of days of our lives of dundee though because if so I gotta go warm my popcorn.

single or multi boat accident?

Was it the case of another trailer departing from a vehicle again Drifter. I didn't talk to Jethro this weekend when I went to the ramp so none the wiser, however I will make enquiries during the week.

Not sure if trailer accident or boating accident. Either way Jethro doesn't miss much

The mail from Jethro was that it seems a boatie had a bit of a mishap by running aground onto Roach Reef last Friday whist chasing mackies and queenies with his mates up from down south. He took a large chunk out of his boat and was taking on water but made it back to the ramp. Not sure how he's going to fix it cause its too big at 770 to rollover and re-fibreglass like I used to do to my 13 footer, when I was a young bloke and took risks....

Glad none of his "mates" weren't hurt. That won't be cheap

maybe this will help

Not too sure if the said boatie who had the mishap reads the site too much but that form looks like the one needed Nomad

Only if he is a commercial vessel Nomad or required assistance from the Authorities. Nt doesn't have boat rego or licencing remember.

Oops just read the shout out board. Looks like it was a commercial vessel. Definatly need to fill that report out! Don't know what sort of guide would run into Roche reef full noise. Chart Plotters and all! WOW!

Yeah, it sounds like a commercial operator but I dont know for sure. How many operate from Dundee?
Its not a big deal just another accident on the water
