just called and he said they havent gone over it all yet but it is looking like it will be a pretty good turnout.
I am trying to figure out whether to leave the boat at the marina or at my buddy's place for the weekend.
Is your buddy driving or throttling Adam?
We will probably switch it up.
I see the last leg goes down Wigwam channel and the south side of Sandy Island right past my place. I'll wave to you.
called the marina 10 times and no answer for docking.
what a pain in the butt.
Adam, I'll give a call down to the marina this morning and see whats up and get back to you.
thanks man.
I keep calling, no answer and then it seems to go to a fax machine sound.
Adam, the google business listing has the wrong number posted.Here is the correct number:
North Bay Waterfront Marina 705-495-3959
thanks.
we decided to keep the boat at the camp anyways and shoot over on Saturday morning before the run.
Looks like an awesome run! Have fun guys!
Would this club come east to the Kingston part of the river for an event?
We dont have anything other than one big big run that Power Boating Canada has at Kingston once a year.
There is another one in Alex Bay too but stupid what you have to do when you cross the border so we dont go any more.
I go with my uncle and two cousins and we all chip in for Kingston.
Kingston is really good.
I do some work in the town and I hear them planning for it in April!
