Open for Boating: New website to navigate coronavirus closures

Even on a cloudy day, local boaters would likely choose the water over other obligations and right now that may be truer than ever.

“We've been through a lot here as a community and boating is sort of the original social distancing,” said George Harris, with the NW Marine Trade Association.

After months of quarantining at home, boating is the escape many now crave.

“This isn’t the time to be out socializing rafting up bringing friends and family out of your boat or anything else like that -- that's going to come later," Harris said. "So, I’m expecting boaters and anglers to be role models during this time and set a good example."

Help to do that is right at your fingertips with a new website from the NMTA aptly called "Open for Boating."
