I suspect those at anchor were night fishing, which is allowed.

It's a good point. I carry a fishing rod on board. Can't remember when I last used it, but with it sticking out the back of the boat, who could say I wasn't fishing, and just gone below for a snooze.

So - you can visit a zoo
Visit a different household
Visit someone and stay overnight
Go to shops where people forget about self awareness etc.
Fish overnight whether on land or on water.
BUT the same household cannot stay overnight on their boat !!!!!
This is just Bo%/:%ks

Sorry for harking on about figures, total deaths for week ending 29th May was published earlier this week.
This puts us well in to the normal range but I expect the numbers to remain slightly high all year, and next winters numbers to be very high again but it is time to end the panic measures, go back to work, go out and have fun, enjoy life, look after the old and the weak.

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a small ship and a star to steer her by;

AND my understanding is that you can fly into this country from abroad. Spend 14 days quarantine in your second home here but WE can't spend time in OUR second homes or stay over on the boat.???????? without coming into contact with anybody.

The b'stards have now formalised the rules, killing off fishing and dive charters in the process. Seems like you'll all be night fishing out of Stangate.
COVID-19 (coronavirus): using a boat inland and on the coast
So sheeple... don't go to work. Don't educate your kids. Don't support the economy. Oh, and get brexit done. Yay.

What is the problem ? Just choose the Laws you are prepared to abide by, and ignore the rest. Yachting exceptionalism rules OK?

Yet the plod turns a blind eye to the non social distancing cretins and oxygen thieves at the protests last weekend.
Yet you know they jump on an easy target just because you're enjoying a past time without being a risk - boating lives matter

It's all inland waterways focused it seems to me.

That does seem to be the vogue among all parts of society, not just yachtsmen.

Those are quite strong words. Do you regard everybody who joined the protests as "cretins and oxygen thieves"?

Nope - just the ones not social distancing quite simple really if you don't social distance then you are at risk are you not ?
People have the right to protest the same as we are doing here.
Please don't go down that route

Particularly miffed as I had this weekend of diving booked which is now cancelled. Will now have to spend another weekend with SWMBO instead of ferreting around the bowels of a couple of wrecks.
Come the revolution, those b'stards will have a lot to account for in their abject failure to resolve this situation.
Maybe I should just get the T-shirt.
