Boating is a sport right?

[ari]

Just watched Boris address the nation, and apparently sport is to be allowed again! Boating is a sport, yes?

NO,
Boating is leisure..

But if we have a race to the fairway buoy that would be sport.
or you can drive your boat to where you want to exercise, (press ups on the bow etc)then that is fine. ?️‍
i think that's what bojo was trying to say.
Sorry you may be right, I just found the emoji in sports ?‍?‍?‍?‍

It seems that people who can't work from home are being asked to go back to work, we're allowed to travel again, but importantly, social distancing must be maintained which is entirely right and sensible.

So it would be hard to see how marinas can maintain a stance of continuing to ban us from our boats. They'll be staffed, social distancing can be maintained.

I'll be disappointed if that is attempted.

And what a great sport it is. Boaters start your engines.......

MDL have emailed, welcoming people to check their boats, but not to go out until harbour masters clear their waters.

Very easily - stay in your car! (Good advice generally on motorways).

Indeed. No problem to me, my household can come boating with me, happy days!

According to our marina, ”From Wednesday, 13th May, we understand that customers may be allowed out on the water but we are waiting for confirmation of this from the Port of Poole Authority.”
