When the wind picks up its 2 mins to Kitty. 40 mins to Union Bay. I'd pick Kitty any day over running. But my boat is perfect for KittyHell-- I wont even launch my 20ft tin boat at Kitty.. Even you do get it in the water, you are screwed if the wind comes up. It is possible if the tides are exactly right to safely launch at Union---BUTTTTT you had better have a local along otherwise it wont work.
Would need a large breakwater to make that happen. I kind of like it just the way it ispretty sad a population of 60000+ and we only have one real boat launch in this valley.We need a launch on the east side of the peninsula. are regional board spends millions of are tax dollars on buying up private land for parks but they wont spend a dime on a launch that would be well used.
Aaaamen!!! to that!FA is right - you won't want to even attempt to launch a large glass boat anywhere other than Comox, Salmon Point or Pacific Playgrounds. Forget all about Kitty Coleman, Bates Beach, Union Bay etc etc.
You have three choices. Comox Harbour, pacific playgrounds or salmon point. Unless your campion is a beater then you could try Kitty or Lazo
