That’s almost scary.

My friend showed San Diego Bay, it was just as bad.

Yesterday passing through New Smyrna was one of the busiest we have ever seen. There were some small beaches with a dozen boats beached Gunwale to gunwale, boats with 4, 5, 6 or more pax zooming around, etc. It was just crazy!

That’s how the boating ban got put in to place in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. All boat ramps closed and blocked off. All sandbars and beaches closed and no boats within 50’ of each other.

And here on Sydney Harbour we have moved our two kids plus two cats and the dog to our boat for at least a month. Maybe more.

Australia is now pretty much locked down and anyone over 70 to stay indoors. No more than two persons can form a group. Parks & beaches closed. Only Australians allowed back on flights and then 14 days quarantine in a hotel.

The kids are doing all their school classes live on laptops via mobile wifi. We will slowly move around from bay to bay. We are into day two of the Isolation Cruise now.

There are lots of boat jobs and projects to be completed, the biggest being to roll some of the decks with new non skid. I will let my 12 year old son wag either a Latin or Chinese lesson if he wants to help me do the taping.

Byron, don’t know when your friend was looking at San Diego, but our boat is on the main channel by Shelter Island and there was more boating traffic last weekend than anytime in the summer, of course it was 70 degrees and sunny. Lots of boats had 5 to 10 people aboard. This is the reason this virus is going to last a long time, to many people just don’t give heck about this thing. John

It sure is.

My thanks to all of you who dont self quarantine. Darwinize your local population if you want but dont think about coming here.

If you cant give a little of your time to protect yourself and your family please just take yourself out of the gene pool

I saw a post which said, "your parents and grandparents fought and won two world wars. You're being asked to stay on the couch for TWO weeks. Think you're up to it?"

The problem with idiots who won't stay home and out of contact is that they may take others of us out, by keeping the pandemic going. One can only hope they wise up. All of our lives depend on this.
