Lake Ontario Poker Runs for October
I don't suppose there is a run anywhere on Lake Ontario this weekend eh? That'd be November btw!!! I thought it was worth asking ;-)
When is the last scheduled run of the season? A link to a calendar would do nicely. Sorry - post # 1 - I'm new!!!

The Eagle Creek Marina Run in Kendall, NY is the latest run that I know about. It will be Aug 25 2012.

Not sure if your on the Canadian or American side, but there is a Poker Run at Rice Lake in September just up from Toronto.
performanceboatclub.ca has the information on that and a few other runs in Ontario.

Having lived within spitting distance of Lake Ontario for my whole life, I can tell you that just about nobody's still out there after mid-October. I packed it in in early October. The water just gets too cold and rough after the end of September. If you're still out there, I hope you have a radio!

You have to wear a jacket in August the water is so cold.
Get your skates sharpened instead of thinking boating.
Like was said ....Rice Lake is the last significant run around here each year.

I was out on the Lake Ontario Last weekend (Nov 12-13). I was wearing a $1300 Mustang Dry Suit. Water temp was 48. You can expect to survive in that water for 30-45 minutes without one. This time of year, if you want to see offshore boats, book a trip to Key West or Lake Havasu.

My group actually does quite a bit of running on Ontario in September, the wind actually dies down then on the lake. October 7-10th Columbus Weekend we had 9 boats running the east end in and around Oswego...I put on 150+ miles.

You should post some pictures of that adventure.
Oh wait - maybe you are with the Coast Guard!!! You might have been working
