Social Distancing Tips On A Boat
It's apparent that folks will turn to angling due to their social distancing activity this spring and summer. Here we've compiled a few creative and fun"boating-hacks" and pointers to assist you observe the current best practices. As always, we recommend checking local Coronavirus rules and guidelines in your region to ensure recreational boating is permitted and safe.
#1 -- Internal Tubes
Use an inner tube as a floating device around the ship to provide you with a buffer zone and make certain you're securely social-distancing. That is our nod to Fish Tales, an Ocean City, Maryland restaurant having a good time with social distancing and ingesting boaters and beach-goers using individual"bumper tables".
#2 -- Noodle Hats
The perfect two-in-one combo! Keep sunlight off your face and practice social distancing using a"noodle coat," like the hats a German cafe recently introduced. The noodle could be a measurement tool for safe distancing although it is somewhat silly. Hold it out at arms length to provide an idea of when you're getting too near others not on your group.
#3 -- Boat Hooks
Purchase a boat hook. Now is the time to have one, if you didn't have one before. While boaters are famous for lending a helping hand, this summer will have limits monitoring their space. It's a great idea to have a boat hook handy to fetch something or loosen a line all on your own. This makes it possible to avoid coming into direct contact with what the CDC calls fomites or shared touch points. Remember to maintain some sanitizer once it has touched any fomites.
#4 -- Color-Coded Koozies (Can Coolers)
Can coolers of every color. You do not need to mistake your beverage for someone else's. By having a stash of a number of can coolers to identify your cup or may, that problem is solved . And of course, they will continue to keep your beverage cold!
#5 -- Gardening Gloves
Catch your gardening gloves. Since sailing gloves don't have latex gloves and hands are both inefficient and can tear thus falling overboard and harming wildlife. Wearing gardening gloves that may be cleaned and reused is the means of protecting yourself contact must occur or when draining fuel at the pier.
Let's have fun on the market this season, while remaining safe and accountable. Together we can get through this time of precaution and still enjoy lots of the aspects which make boating our activity on Earth.
