Unfortunately Boxy plare is to full and he will be unable to get the run together! But all is not lost, Glashole, Minxguy and me MOP will do our best to do a good job. Check the links below for more info and some appetite wetters! Sure hop a few of you drag your boats up it is a great place, also hope the "Red Mistress" is done Jamie has been saying he will come. Need to meet a few more of the Central states guys!


The run is on and the dates will stay the same July 19th to the 22nd. But due to business obligations and a few other things Boxy does not the time to organize the run! But we sure hope he will be in attendance!!!!!

MINXGUY, glashole and Mop will do their best to fill his shoes, Ken MINXGUY has had a cottage on the river for years and know his way around, glashole is on the Canadian side and brings his knowledge of that side, I have been going up to the 1000 Islands for many years and will help as much as I can. We will all do our best to make this one of the very BEST 1K Donzi runs yet!

The home base will once again be the Edgewood resort... www.theedgewoodresort.com ... 1-888-EDGEWOOD (33439663), ask for Janine, or Cathy. The hotel will block off rooms and try to keep us together. They are operating a scaled down winter schedule, so you may not get someone right away, but they will phone back quickly.

They have rebuilt the older docks, and have added some new ones, they will have us all together on the docks if possible the key is to get you registration in early as you can. Make sure to give you boat size when you call Janine or Cathy will handle the rest. They have river rooms where most of the group stays or rooms to suit most any budget, all are quite nice and walking distance to the docks. The weather in July in this part of the world is fantastic, and Alexandria Bay ..... www.alexbay.org .... will be in full summer season swing.

Get you reservations early the 1000 Islands is one place you will never forget! Just ask anyone who has been there it abounds with both beauty and mystique!

Guys & Dolls having a passport is a big plus, you need it to go into Canada. Kingston is one place on the list of must see's, there are few other other quaint towns we may hit. We will have a flexible but hopefully a full enough agenda to please both the captains, mates and the little people! The July weather is about as good as it gets but if by chance the weather is not to our liking no sweat there are several really great places to go by land or tour boat. We will try to have at least one or two possibly three neats thing to do each day plus some great river running, and to be sure a lazy trip through the islands so bring your cameras and bathing suits. Spliting into groups for different events is an option to keep eveyone happy!

this run was a favorite of mine and Boxy really was a great host
but I am sure you guys will do a fine job and keep the tradition going
the scenery is the best and the clayton wooden boat museum is a must I would highly recomend it anyone who likes to boat

Phil, just to be clear. A Passport is not required to enter Canada, but US Customs and Immigration requires all travellers, Americans included, to show proper documentation to re-enter the US.....

Matty, things are well, I'll be in touch soon. The second season starts Wednesday :D
