I hope there's room at the sandbar for everyone. I have a feeling it's going to be a crazy weekend. The boat traffic is getting bad up here already. I have never seen it like this before. I think lots are tired of the stay at home orders and escaping the covid hot spots. I'm staying off the water for several days!

Hopefully everyone gets a respectable handle on this by july as Wisconsin and Tennessee are both part of my plan to see how much gas I can burn in a month.

Yes Paul I find that my big block chrysler correct craft burns significantly more fuel than any other single screw boat I have been in... maybe it needs a holley... maybe I just got to get used to the big girls. Either way when a boat sits in the hoist and you have to carry gas tanks down to it the logistics involved to fill are worse than the cost. I often see the nephews checking the gas gauge before asking to take it out as they know there are two answers to that question. Either "sure, try not to die" or "you better put some gas in it first" and if they think they are going to hear the second answer they just settle for the pontoon.   

Well I am going to go put in some social distancing docks.. .and order some boat hoist wheels to assist with social distancing boat hoist installation.   Keep safe out there...


Whaere are you planning to go in Tennessee?

Hopefully as long as the boat ramps are open then we can still do this . I would be more concerned about food options staying in a hotel but assume they have carry out like down here and hopefully open by then.
Even going to the shallows we should be able to properly social distance without any issue.
Looking forward to it.

Pete, down here most of the public launches are operated by the county or municipality and are open for business. I was fortunate enough to navigate through 100's of walleye boats on the Wolf River Sunday afternoon. There was an obvious increase in police presence. I also believe "Safer at Home" is in place through May 26th. Hopefully the "Badger Bounce Back" rolls out sooner than later.

thanks to your son for his efforts.

And where does it make sense to close boat ramps, but have 50+ people in Lowes and Home Depot?

I agree completely. How launching a boat somehow forces crowds to gather is beyond me. Same for marinas. Are you going to not allow people to walk down a ramp to a dock where their boat is tied up? The boats to either side are social distanced by design.

Joe, we have had the same problem for all the time we've been on our small lake, no gas dock anywhere, we carry fuel. Funny how easy it seemed in my younger days, a few 6 gallon outboard tanks would last a long time it seemed. Different story with bigger boats, and ones that guzzle gas. I still am the one that fills the boats, and you are right, the younger crowd is more likely to skip a boat ride than to fill anything!

I am staying safe. I am familiar with all the models.   I am happy to provide my credentials for being able to build and interpret data models and stats back channel. This is like throwing parts at a problem, something you have pointed out the folly of many times. There is no data or empirical evidence to back closing a boat launch ramp.

I have a kid on the front lines in a nursing home and rehab center trying to help super vulnerable people beat this thing, so the risks are real for my family.

Stay safe. Have you looked at your states statistics lately? Here they are for Tennessee

We can still boat, but no rafting up.
For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

I feel you Dave - it'll take a lot of work/luck between here and there but I am thinking of taking 400 plus cubic inches of f250 and 400 plus cubic inches of big block Chrysler correct craft on the road to see just how much of that excess dinosaur piss I can burn running around the country.
