1000 islands winter blues

Hopefully they moved the date of the Kingston run. I would love to try it but its the same dates as the buffalo run. Also, I was not impressed with the a bay run last year. Maybe we are just spoiled with all the other great events we have gone to.

I am from Michigan and want to do a thousand island run but not sure which one is better. This is the second time I have seen a post that says Kingston is better than abay. Why and is this the final recommendation? I have done boyne thunder 3 times and that has become the standard run I know.
Thank you.
Thank you.

The guys that have done the K town run say it is a lot better, as a spectator on the dock and on the water I see a bigger selection or boats and different boats ..cant talk about the organization of the run maybe the other guys can chime in on that.. The Abay dock and bars are fun, but K town restaurants and bars are better in my humble opinion ...but you cant walk around with a beer in your hand like in Abay...I was in a small charity poker run just up the river from you in Sarnia mid August it was on the Saturday of the International Power Boat Races ...lots of fun great people and Sarnia Bay Marina is a great place to stay ..Great concert of Fri and Sat night and the bars were packed ..will be going back next year for sure ..

I boat in 1000 islands all the time, Canadian and us waters. Mostly go between the two party beaches: Grenadier island, which is north east of abay and leek island which is on the other side of potter's. I went to potter's once but the vibe sucked and ppl were dicks there! Maybe it's better other times. I routinely run from Kingston down to bRockville taking either Canadian or American channel. I prefer the Canadian since there are no slow zones. It's about an hour at a nice 50 mph cruise. I will post pics shortly. I'm leaving my boat in Rockport next year, party there every weekend and we always go to abay too. Cheap gas and booze. I run with a lot of other guys, mostly bajas but it's the ppl that are fun. Can't wait for next year!
