I would be calling them today and explaining marinas in Maryland are NOT
CLOSED to boat owners. Also would be the last time my boat was ever in
that place. I am grateful to be in the water and operational, I can
leave at will. I think my marina would be too afraid to not get any more
slip fees paid to try this, our lot over here are cheap bastards and it
would be "no boat no cash".

FWIW, I just got turned away from working on my boat in Pasadena, Md.
Seems they misinterpreted the governor's directive and closed the yard
to everybody but their own workers. I was allowed ten minutes to
check my tarp and stands, and get out. In a boatyard w 200 plus boats
that are spread out so you can work around all sides, there are only a
handfull of us owners that ever work on our own boats so social
distancing is super easy to maintain. The boat is my property, so I
should be allowed to access it. I rarely ever interact with the yard
guys and planned to do so even less, but rules are rules and the yard
manger mentioned calling the police. I have no symptoms and stayed
20 ft away while talking to him. I'd be twelve feet off the ground
when on deck when working, and I'm fully self sufficient, with my own
food, water, beer, parts and tools, so I feel I am not putting him or
anyone in Maryland at any risk.
I hope someone talks some sense into these guys.
