Mullatt Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Like the majority that are adhering to the rules/lockdowns/requirements I am staying at home other than buying essentials like groceries etc. but there are some, as others have mentioned also, that are flaunting the "rules". The boat is having a nice little holiday in the garage at the moment. Unfortunately, in my opinion, I think the rules or whatever we like to call them, can be at times quite vague and ambiguous. I just wish the powers that be, be clearer in what everyone can and cant do/ should and shouldn't be doing. And I understand that different rules apply in different states! Just my take on it all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 In today's edition of the Daily Telegraph, there was a small article on people being fined, and one of them was a fisherman who travelled more than 1 hour from his home to fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I don't doubt that. There simply isn't enough police and other persons to monitor it all. I was shown some pics of Molineaux Point today and there were many many boats there and across the bay, about 50 at one area 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab1 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 My boat will be staying anchored to the garage floor until all this is over unfortunately as I'm an hour away from the water and it is not worth the headaches or fines. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the diversion @Scratchie It seems that it's not only this covid -19 that's proving the adage "it's a small world". My Grannie was (probably) the most fascinating person that I knew when I was a youngster. She was "married" to a Captain of a merchant steamship who travelled to all parts of the world. He still managed to sire 6 children even though he was "all at sea for most of his life". bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
