I'm not sure where you are getting your info, but it doesn't look correct. I'm pretty sure the Card Stop in Rockport has been eliminated, and the channel from the Bridge to Rockport will not be a Wide Open Area. Last year we were speed controlled through there, around 60-70 MPH but still speed controlled.

Where is the best place to watch from land? I'm heading up from Las Vegas (no boat) to meet the wife in Toronto and then we are heading up to Kingston? What day would be better? Is the Kilo run in an area that you can see from a spectating area? Sorry for all the questions.

Default Best Place To Launch on US side?

Coming up from Rochester NY. Was planning on launching at Clayton. Does anyone know if there are launches that are long enough and deep enough to handle a 36' boat. Ran into a problem 2 weeks ago and want to avoid poor starts to my morning.

Don't know where you are staying, but the Keewaydin Point State Park is prob the best boat launch in NYS! About 20 miles north of Clayton on Rt 12. Don't try to use the Cedar point state park launch in Clayton, unless you have run dry impellars

AJ,

I agree with 4bus. We always put in at Keewaydin and it is a great place. We will be getting there friday morning. Look for us in Kingston.

Excellent Chuck.
1. Can we leave our truck and trailers there?
2. What time are you planning on being at this launch on Friday?
3. Did you make special arrangements at confederation basin for dockage, or did you just get it via registering for the run?
