Just a quick reminder that the BBC radio documentary "Paddling with Peter Duck" will be broadcast next week. The half-hour programme features John McCarthy exploring the life of Arthur Ransome through the boats he has owned, including Nancy Blackett and Peter Duck.

Peter Willis, Chairman of the Nancy Blackett Trust, recorded a segment with John McCarthy and producer Kevin Dawson on board the Nancy Blackett early last month. "Paddling with Peter Duck" is scheduled to air at 11:30am on Thursday 4th August.
