## Quick answer

Anchor east of ABYC race buoys, west of RCYC channel, avoiding Outer Harbour shipping lane.

## Detailed answer

Launch at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch before 0900 on Labour Day weekend. Follow Toronto Harbour Commissioners' temporary race buoys marking the ABYC lobster boat course. Anchor west of the buoys toward Woodbine Beach, staying clear of the active race lane and Outer Harbour deep-draft vessel traffic. Monitor VHF Ch 68 for race control updates. Retrieve before afternoon easterly winds strengthen.
