This run was awesome again!!! Year after year it just gets better. They did a great job with the new start and marking the slow areas or controlled speed areas. For the first time we completed the entire run with no problems what so ever. Our new trailer worked out perfectly!! We had a great time and meet some great new people. The town of Kingston really welcomes you as well as the citizens. They just love these boats. I think the only people that didnt want us here was that crazy lady kayaking back and forth across the boats moving!!! Crazy protestor!! The police actually went over there and told her off I think. Again there is a reason why this run is one of the top runs!! Its an experience you have to do at least once in your life. There was one person on the run though that he and his crew did not get on the best side of most folks.

there was a 35 fountain twin 496's on the way north on 401... looks like it stayed on trailer, but apparently flipped on the road. Don't have more info on that but the back end of the boat (on top) was broken badly, and the side also...anyone heard about that one?

Heard about that as well but didnt know what boat is was. If it was a 35 with 496's was it blue and was from Canada?? If so they were parked next to us at the basin.

We moved PRED... from Kingston up to Toronto for about 10 days then will be back on Geo Bay. We may see you then. Say hello. Anxious to get back out to the anchorage at Beckwith Island.
