The cat launch is at Port Charlotte Beach Park. This is across the harbor from Punta Gorda where you sailed the Stiletto with us. There is a sand beach for launching. It is well patrolled by the county sheriff's department. And I think ? that someone stayed up all night watching over the boats.

The festivites are at the Charlotte Harbor Yacht Club, very close to the beach and Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda.

Hotel space is close to both locations.
