With all the stupidity going on, I can say that I made some decisions recently that normally would have never entered my mind. I've witnessed others doing the same, for their own personal safety. A white guy on a Hatteras could make for an easy target. I even talked to one delivery Captain who was told by police not to dock his boat near their station because it was unsafe. This being a city dock on the Illinois River in a suburb of Chicago. He chose to take refuge behind a barge with the blessing of the tow Captain.
Speaking of third world countries, I've wondered whatever became of our fellow HOF'er, Miguel53C with all the unrest in Venezuela over the past few years. We stayed in touch, and I know there were safety concerns with him. I've tried contacting him, but no luck. Who would have ever thought we would be sharing such an environment?
Just wondering if you big city guys are doing things differently these days.

No issues close to us but I have started to carry a gun. Never thought I’d see this crap in the US. Best of luck to all of you and stay safe.

Re: Are You Changing Your Boating Habits?
Last week there was a march To Miami city hall which is next to the marina. I moved my car to a nearby parking garage for the days just in case but nothing happened. The peace of mind was worth the $20...

Re: Are You Changing Your Boating Habits?
You d be surprised. Actually it was the rebel flag not the Stars and Bars. Although maybe we should all start flying the Stars and Bars since the “other side” is so ignorant.... that won’t know what it is.
And we do fly the Gadsden Flag off the gaff on our sailboat...Pascal

Re: Are You Changing Your Boating Habits?
I haven't changed my boating habits. I'm in exactly the same place as I was before the coronavirus. And watch how you throw around "sides". I might start thinking you aren't on my side, and I'm sure that's not true.
