a little different this year. This came from my town. Considering the rafting picture is the norm for my friends and I every weekend, The wife and I will be spending a lot of time together and I am going to do a lot more fishing. No trips this year for me as of now. Let's all be safe and make the best of it!

At least you can have your family on board. Here in IL the kids have to stay home. Only two people allowed on the boat, regardless of family status.
 
It’s going to be different, but at least we can be out on the water. Spend time with our family, find new places and go gunkholing. Sound like a good challenge.

I’ve been in since early last month. Not a lot of places to go to so I haven’t left the dock yet, but sure is nice to be able to go hang out on the boat and fiddle around with stuff while getting some fresh air.

Yup, that makes so much sense it sounds like it could have come from the Gubner of Michigan. Or Washington. Or most other blue state gubners.

Yep, same here... planning on working on many of the sidelined projects on the boat this year. Tobay paper work was in the mail and will probably spend some quiet weekday trips there and commute.

Awesome. Does that mean you can only have two in your car at any time? And only two at the dinner table at anytime?

Whoever made that rule is dumb as dirt.

Your being very generous...

Exactly. I told my wife that I have stuff to do and she was like " What am I going to do?" I said sit on the bow with your seltzer(dont drink) and look beautiful and get a tan..
My plan so far
-Fix the nonskid gel coat crack on the swim platform
-Fix 2 chips near the helm
-Install a galley TV
-Clean the engine comp with a toothbrush, LOL
-Find where the water gets in the bilge all the time when it rains
-Get my wifi camera setup working
-And work on the wife to get a FLIR camera
 
Yeah, the red state leaders are sooooo smart, just the flu, don't worry about it.
You and the blue state leaders can stay locked down in your house until you feel safe. The rest of us will start living our lives again. Don’t tell me how to live and I won’t tell you.
 
We've "flattened the curve" here in Western Australia with just 14 active cases in the whole of the state and no new cases in the last week. We are now allowed to have groups of 10 which was pretty obvious on the water last week with numerous groups of boats rafting up.
 
Consider yourselves lucky, I've been in since 4/1 but can't leave my slip because.....the MD portion of the Chesapeake Bay is closed.

Please do, and I sincerely hope that you are 100% correct that a lock down is not needed. Because if your not, the hurt that was inflicted by this lock down will be nothing compared to the next one.

If you think this country will lockdown again from this you’re not in tune. We won’t have a country if we lockdown again. Some could argue that blue state people want this anyways.

As of this morning...The mortality rate for the US is .021%. Now take out all the nursing home deaths...

BTW..nothing is 100% but we know you’ll say “see we told you so” for even one death.

"We" and "you", man how divided we are. BTW, I am not a blue or red person, just someone that would like this to be handled based on science and facts, not politics.

I had a feeling we would be spending more time at the dock..at least the beginning of the season. So I moved slips to get closer to shore and brought down the grill from the condo. They put a boat right beside me (arrow) on the hard and blocked my view of the marina....so now I am motivated to get in the water.... just need temps above 50....what a crappy spring

I like science too but you brought up “red states” in your original post. Hence why I went political.

Now tell me how wearing a mask is science? (Not talking about fitted N95’s that nurses/docs wear)

How is it science that I can walk into a party store, Home Depot, Target, Kroger, etc and be next to others but west marine, restaurants, small businesses, etc are closed?

Please explain how our gov locked us down for 6 weeks but is now easing the lockdown even though our numbers have been roughly the same for 2-3 weeks. She claims to use nothing but science, data and facts. If that’s true then she should keep the lockdown. You know why, cause they’re NOT using science or facts just a political agenda.

Happy Boating to you!
 
Have ANY of you heard ANY one from the Medical and/or Science community say a Lockdown is not needed? This is one of the few tools we have right now. Hopefully more weapons against this scourge will be discovered. We have 2 people close to us who have died from this already, no need for more. I work in Immunology Research, and have been involved in setting up a Covid-19 laboratory in NY, and assisting other customers who study antibodies. Any one who is against this lockdown does not under stand science and doesn't give a hoot about fellow human beings. The economy is going to suffer, but the alternative is worse.
