Just worked at our Maryland boatyard for two days. The boatyard closed to
owners for a month and finally reopened but only when the yard workers are not
there. They allow owners in now, on weekends only. Everyone was competing for
water and power but respectful, wearing masks, keeping distance, helping each
other where possible, but staying apart. I saw this possibility a month ago,
but the yard wouldn't ease their rule, even when other boatyards in the area
remained open.
I expect more relaxed conditions sooner than later if we act smart. Respect
other's space by wearing a mask when near someone else. That won't be forever,
just until things improve a little. Things are improving, but it's too soon to
shake hands, litteraly. Act smart. Stay safe. I think some better guidelines
for racing with crew will come out from smarter minds and I look forward to
that. Maybe testing will become more common like flu shots did.
