Had the opportunity to launch on Hamilton hardour last weekend.. What a terrific facility! Completely free launch that is very large, clean and well maintained. Excellent concrete ramp and wood and metal docks.
Toured out around the harbour a little, more into the industrial areas out of curiousities sake.. Got to go right up to HMCS Hieda - a permanently docked naval ship. Is it ever big from down at the water line... I've been on it before as a tour.
There was also a couple of mobile dry docks, one with a couple boats on it - one of which was a Toronto harbour ferry getting some repairs.
From there out into lake Ontario under the SKyway and lift bridge. lake was fairly calm - maybe 8-12" waves.. A little cool but a very nice cruise around. We were out about 3 1/2 hrs and went at least 35 miles.
I recommend the area to anyone around!
