Ontario harbour breakwall and boat on calm water
Alert link landing page

Check the launch before the text gets ignored.

If an alert or saved-ramp link brings a boater here, they should see the ramp context, current water cues, a backup launch path, and the safety steps that get the family home.

Today on the water

Wind, waves and the 3-day outlook for popular launches. Save your own to see them here first, every visit.

Alert behaviour

Built for alert traffic, not random browsing.

The old version dropped alert users into a directory. This version treats the alert page as a launch-day decision hub: saved ramps first, safety next, source-truth clear, and the full map still available when they need a backup.

  • Text links should land on current launch context, not a generic list.
  • Every condition cue is a planning aid, not permission to launch.
  • Sponsors stay below safety and source-truth utility.
  • Wrong or stale ramp information gets a clear correction path.
  • Samsung field photos stay editorial until matched to a specific launch.

Samsung field media

Real local water visuals are staged here.

These owned phone photos can support alert and safety pages now. They stay labelled as editorial media until a ramp name or location match turns them into evidence.

Verification

Know what is verified before you tow

Ramp location, photo, fee, closure, and weather claims are not the same kind of evidence. The methodology page explains the labels and how corrections are handled.

Important limit

This hub supports launch planning. It is not emergency dispatch and it does not replace official marine forecasts, posted ramp notices, or a responsible float plan.
