Here are the plans guys. I would like to thank the folks for helping get all this together.
Saturday Oct 10th a bunch of us boaters will be meeting up at the Newburgh Beacon bridge on the water at 12pm. There will be a bunch of us launching from Peekskill, Stony Point, TZ Marine and Cannonball Marina.
Once we meet up, we will take a nice run up to Kingston heading in towards Rondout Creek. The town of Kingston has a street fair for Columbus Day weekend, there is a really great restaurant called Rosita's. There will be docking at the restaurant, town docks as well as Kingston Marina. You can stay as long as you like, not stay or continue back on down with us. We will see what everyone says about leaving. 1-2 hours.
From what I understand, the Cannonball restaurant is having a DJ on Saturday night with bar and food service available. They have about 60 wet slips and parking for about 100 boats and trailers. They also have lift service with 2 launch ramps. Nordic 95 will have all the info or I will post it up. (Thanks)
Just to be clear for everyone, this is not an event, there is not cost to enter, there is no set schedule or route. This is truly a Fun Run for everyone to meet and greet, show off our hardware and have some fun before the white stuff is coming down!
Thanks to everyone for coming down. Dont forget the cameras for the foliage as we head up river!!!
So if anyone wants to hang out after the run,or launch their boat for the run, here is a link to the marina that a group of us will be at. They have two launches,two travel lifts and a ton of parking for boats and trailers. I spoke with a representative yesterday and I asked him if we could leave a couple of boats over night and he said he could accomadate any request we may have. They also have 25 transient slips with clean hot showers and bathrooms available.I posted a link with an arial view of the marina.The marina is located inside a sea wall and has a south and north entrance thru the sea wall.The resturant is located just inside the north entrance(to the right in the picture) and has docking right in front of it for about sixty boats,see building with blue canopy right on the water.The south entrance lines up with the pool and main launch ramp.Please also notice that just outside the sea wall the water is very shallow approaching the marina.There are a couple sets of red and green channel markers that line up with the south entrance into the marina from the river.Please follow this channel towards the marina and when you approach the sea wall make a hard right and follow the outside of the sea wall to the resturant entrance.So come join us before or after the run for some food and good times.We will be launching at this marina around 9am so that we can get our group into the water and leaving the marina by 11am.We could travel as a group north to meet all the other groups from different marinas at the Newburgh Beacon Bridge and Tom at noon.Then from there off to Kingston.After Kingston back down river to Cannonball to hang and eat....
I will be launching at the Newburg ramp by Gullys restaurant with some new 21 sutphens. There is good parking and I know a few other guys putting in there as well.
You can also launch at Patsy Bay Marine in Stony Point 80 Beach Road, they have two ramps, bathrooms and showers. TZ marine is also at 80 beach road and will be open for Parts and Service. TZ will have two mercury mechanics on the water to assist if anyone has trouble.
Actually I changed my mind. I am going to launch with Morgan in Newburgh because I have to head to Lake George after the run. What time are you launching Morgan? 11-ish?

We're headed up from South Jersey! We plan on being on the road by 7-7:30 That should get us to Cannon Ball Marina by 10am at the very latest. We already got three rooms at the Budget Motor Inn out on Liberty Drive for Saturday night.
So when we launch go out throught the south entrance and make a hard left and follow the seawall to the north entrance, make another hard left and resturant will be right in front of us?
