Who would have thought that just a short while ago all the marinas were closed etc......Today, the sight of all the boats floating at their slips is surprising to me as I for one did not expect to see this many boats in this year.
There are a few still in the parking lots though, but not nearly as many as I would have guessed. It almost looks like any other year. There have been some red flags just this past week though, with some cases in our area increasing. Many folk have masks on when out and about, us included, but as observed, many at the marina seem to have become lax about the distancing now......
I sure hope all this goes well, including our boat sale......
Yeah we pulled anchor around 2:30 from Beausoleil around 2:30 and ran into that storm. Wasn't too bad on the bay other than the rain. Timed it to hit the dock once It passed, but the wind was still gusting and of course blowing off the dock. got tied up without too much trouble other than the dock hand letting the stern rope slack within a foot of hitting my neighbor, but I was sure glad to have the new Sideshift bow thruster installed.

Re: Marina Closed due to Covid -19 !
That's all great but,,,,, they all want to congregate on the docks in the evenings. Don't get me wrong, I am usually part of those "meetings", but trying to keep a bit of space this year. They are all elbow to elbow. Tried to be a part of some of the night life while keeping some distance, but everyone keeps moving closer. I believe Saturday evening, I kept stepping back, must have moved a total of 25 feet or more, and they kept moving with me.
Maybe its my magnetic personality? Not!

As much as I hate to bring this thread back, I did read something a few minutes ago that I hope is a simple journalistic error. In this link there is a sentence that says one cannot

Yes, it applies to crown land but several municipalities are already restricting any overnight camping and boat launching. (I think the article quoted mentioned Port Hope and Haldimand County). I'm sure other municipalities are doing the same and it won't change until the provincial emergency restrictions are lifted.

Re: Marina Closed due to Covid -19 !
This is to protect marina staff and reduce the spread, and I totally get that.
This is supposed to be in place till the end of the lockdown on May 20th, 2021.
Needless to say, I left the marina, ass in hand, and I now have a boat that is half waxed, bottom not painted and mechanical not yet ready for splash day.
Now the marina said they will prep my boat for a fee. I am of the view that I don’t need a boat in the water that I cant go to, so I will just wait for the lockdown to be lifted. Who knows, maybe they will drop some of the conditions.
