The coronavirus lockdown has put everything into stark relief. The closure of our beaches and bays drastically curtailed our activities. Despite a partial reopening, families still can’t go to movies, out to busy restaurants or take a vacation. Even Concert in the Park is on hold! However, a family escape is still possible: We can spend time with our loved ones aboard a boat. There’s no better way to soak up the sun and get fresh air than by sailing and boating. Take in the beautiful ocean, fly across the bay and admire our spectacular coastal landscape. Boating brings families together; it exposes children to wildlife, allows for short day trips or longer vacations, and helps teach new skills. Not to mention, boaters as a population are amazing people. They are resourceful and fearless. They love having fun in the sun, and they are always up for an adventure. (If you’re one of them, you know. If you aren’t yet, it’s not too late!) 26
