Lots happening , the 1st week of August,
along the St Lawrence, in upstate NY .
The Clayton Boat Yard has its annual ACBS Boat Show & Auction, AUG 02-03, and then will transit right into the bi-annual
Race Boat Regatta, for the weekend of AUG 08-10.
I am no longer a member, but I hear that the 'RBR' this year is featuring the Outboard Racers of the St Lawrence.
That bay is not a great place to run O/B's, but we are looking forward to a good turn out, and good fun, convincing Doug Reed,
that he is no longer a Mercury Dealer.

Fishers Landing, aka 'Reeds Garage', is a few miles east of Clayton.
If you find Foxys , or Chalks Marine, just look across the street .

The ABM Boat Show Auction of used boats/equipment is on SAT AUG 02
There is a flea market both weekends, but for some reason
it has been better on the 1st weekend, ie; the Boat Show date.
One also must have a ticket to the grounds to get access to the market.
This began last year, and is NOT popular with vendors or buyers
Doug does not (as yet ) charge for access to his SALE !
