Anyone who states that sailing is not an an essential part of life must not have psychological needs.
Sailing and or boat maintenance in a marina are one of the few activities compliant with social distancing that I can think of today. I am a New Orleanian who has been in Houston since 2/10/20 while my wife undergoes treatment. Public parks here and at home are open to people who practice social distances. Explain to me how being on the water with your immediate family is a risk to you or others. I agree with Dennis about the measures he takes to protect himself and others. But we must continue living and our governments must allow us to reasonably live. You and I are more at risk going to the market than a sail on open water.
