Re: October 16th, CT River
 

If all are welcome, mind if a guy in a little Sutphen tags along for the lower River part? I'll probably only run from the Old Saybrook ramp to the restaurant in Middletown. If it's OK, keep me up on the times. Thanks.

Re: October 16th, CT River
 

Pat, Jcap - I think we'll target 8am at the I-95 ramp too, probably stay in a hotel off the interstate to make easy-in-easy-out. Christian, welcome! Not sure who the organizer is, but I hope they see some of these posts as the attendee list grows! See you there!

No Pat...just me & a bud for a long day trip along with a few other trailerers' I think. Some are leaving Fri. afternoon. Some sat. morning.

*Just one thing ...remember guys this event is "advertised" on Scream&Fly. The boats tend to be in the 18-22' range. While smaller...alot of them are very fast. "Respect the little guys" as to quote JCAP. I know it won't be a problem.*

Re: October 16th, CT River
 

After re-thinking the traffic, we're considering meeting Bash and Jcap instead early Sat morning to caravan. This way we can follow someone who (hopefully) knows the way and we'll have company along the way should there be any isssues. So, we'll need to hear where we can tag up with you early Sat morning (maybe a local dinner Fri night??)!

Hey Guys and Gails,
If you can get yourselves to I-95 north from the island, and I'm sure you can, it is vary easy to get to either the I-95 CT river launch or Haddam Meadows state park.
You decide where your going to launch, and I'll post some directions.
I will be launching in Chester half way between the two. My marina is also an option for anyone.

Hey Superbash,
I have not read though the whole thread on Scream & Fly. Is there someone we should contact before hand? or just show up?

Have a great weekend!

Re: October 16th, CT River

Re: October 16th, CT River
 

For the LI guys, if you were to launch from the N. Shore of LI, where could you launch(directly across from the river), and how far of a run is it to the mouth of the CT river?
