Default Rochester, NY to Cobourg, Ontario

A few of us are going to cross Lake Ontario from Rochester and go to Cobourg Ontario Canada this Sun. Aug. 22nd, weather and waves permitting. They have a big ribfest up there then. Some went last year and had a great time. If you're interested in hooking up with us and going send me a pm or email at [email protected].

I was thinking of going the other way (I am in Toronto) one of these days. How long does it take you? What's there to do in Rochester?

I've crossed over to Toronto twice. In calm seas (it was calm going over both times) it took a little over 2 hours at 40-45mph. However I got caught in 5-8 foot seas coming back both times and it was over 4 hours. You'd think once was a fluke but twice?! The forecast was calm both times but the winds turned out of the east, which whips down the length of the lake- very rare actually.
In Rochester? Nothing to do within walking distance of our harborfront, except a beach not a lot of transient slips. We do have a boaters beach area in a couple of spots and a protected bay where boaters raft off and even anchor at a sandhill. Nothing as exciting or attractive as Toronto unfortunately.
