port stanley boat ramp

[Arawak]

Not sure if this ever closes, but thought I'd ask here. I get my new boat on Wednesday night, and I see Thursday is going to be sunny and 12 degrees.

Any reason I can't put in at Port Stanley this time of year to start breaking in the motor?

Make sure your insurance doesn't have a winter layup Ryder mine doesn't start up again untill April first

Actually, I saw that posted here a few days ago and checked with my State Farm agent to make sure. Thanks for the heads up!

Last time I was there there was a lot of debris at ramp saw a lot of timber around.Also make sure there is no south winds expected as you will damage the new boat as the waves hammer the ramp hard as it is not protected.Port Stanley really dropped the ball on the location of this ramp.Be carefull if you go out heads up always this time of year.Good luck with the new boat.

Maybe you should try the inner bay at long point for you 1st run . It might be safer . Enjoy your new boat .

Which ramps are open in the inner bay?
Is the ice out there?

Maybe try the new Imperial Road Ramp in Port Bruce... it's a little difficult to get on and off the ramp... but after that, free launch!

Old Cut Boat Livery is open.I saw some boats using their boat ramp
about a week ago on their Facebook page.The ice apparently is also gone.

Sadly it's a long haul from London. I might just have to exercise some patience....

Port Glasgow should be good as long as it's not too windy.

Was at Pt Glasgow 2 hours ago. Waves where pounding the end break wall. The twin ramps are plugged with debris but the single deeper ramp is clean and clear. Lots of nice minnows in the docks.
