I’ll have a word, he’s probably about as accurate as the “experts” that are doing the modelling (read glorified guesswork). You’d probably be better off going down onto Whitby harbour & letting Gypsy Rosa Lee read your earwax[emoji849]

I would agree with everyone's perspectives and views. We finally heard from our Governor about a state wide stay at home order.

For me, this should have been put in place last week. But whats really disturbing is the amount of people out on CA and FL beaches. It's just insanity.

I'v had to take my holiday backlog this week before our year end...really weird to be "on holiday" this week - especially as I work in a key sector!

on the upside the boat is still on the drive, not 100 miles away at the marina, so can at least send time on various little jobs and give tubes unscheduled clean / coat of protector.

I think leisure boating is out for a while....but if I had a hard boat or was a WAFFI with berths etc. not a bad place to self isolate a few miles off the coast - unless another big storm blows in

As of midnight tonight Weds. 25/03/2020, here in New Zealand the government is putting the country in full lock down for 28 days and boating is verboten.
The govt does not want to endanger the coast guard crews due to stupidity.

Its a no go.
Take care!

Checking on my brothers and sisters on the other side of the pond and those local in the US.

How is everyone doing? I hope we can weather this storm and get back to time on the water.

Take care,

John

That's true....I'm getting as many routine home & boat maintenance jobs done (and building the brownie points with SWIMBO) so when I can get out there's nothing preventing me from doing so

Glad all seem to be staying sensible, safe & healthy. With luck things will start to relax a bit soon - Uk announcement on Sunday (afeter the bank holiday weekend!

Just checking in with my friends on the other side of the pond. How is everyone doing? Healthy I hope??? Family is okay?

For me things are different, but nothing in crisis mode yet. Just keep praying.

All good for us VT keep safe mate

If anything good has even happened due to COVID-19, that would be me buying a SIB and back to the game of inflatable boats :-)

That was in April. I'd been procrastinating at getting the boat registered, but I finally went to the DMV and also bought myself a motor.

We had took the boat out rowing for a few times, but I will do a motorized maiden voyage tomorrow.

Thinking about my friends over in the UK and hoping for the best for you folks over there.

I can't say its getting better over here.

I understand the vaccines will provide widespread herd immunity from Spring, so fingers crossed!

Stay safe and Merry Christmas

To you and your families as well! I was luckily enough to get the first of two vaccinations this afternoon. Another one won't happen for 3 weeks, but I am hopeful that we will all get some time on the water soon!

I hope they speed it up some and that my maths are wildly wrong but going on how long it took to vaccinate 350k people with 1 injection here, it will take years for all to get 2 injections.

Merry Xmas all.

Whatever ones opinion on the whole debacle it'll be a long haul....and that's if the Goalposts don't move!
Asymmetrical problems are always the worse type of "problems" to tackle.

Although I am confident we will prevail...and hopefully as a result ..be much wiser in the future.
Happy Christmas and Best wishes to All!

Agree with the first part, not much chance of the second If we keep electing self serving clowns to govern on our behalf.

And that's aimed at all Parties, not just the current idiots.

Happy Christmas and here's hoping next year's better than this.
