overview of Rallies in general and Killbear in
particular
From:
Chip Cunningham [mailto:chip.cdcunningham@gmail.com] I checked your link on NP Boats about the 2016 Killbear Rally and got a summary of 2013. That's OK with me, but do you have, or do you know where I can get, an update of where things stand now for this year? Thanks.

Rallies are basically a series of day-sails out of a
fixed location where people mostly camp and keep their
boats. FYI, we are on a three-year rotation: Hermit
Island, ME > Thousand Islands > Killbear – see http://wayfarer-canada.org/Rally.reports/Rallies_index.html Since
1995, we have also had annual International Rallies (http://www.wayfarer-international.org/WIC/International.Rallies/IR_index.html)
and the European W’s are apparently keen on having a
US-based IR at WISP in the Thousand Islands in 2017.
To accommodate that desire, the plan may be (Jim and
Linda copied)to reverse that 2017-2018 order as
follows: 1000 Islands > Hermit, after which we go
back to the basic NA rotation: 2019 Killbear > 2020
Hermit > 2021 WISP. At
Killbear, we usually camp in the Lighthouse Point
campground where we keep the boats on the beach.
Daysails tend to feature Hole-in-the-Wall, Parry
Sound, Franklin Island among others. Research
