  1. Hello Crew, I thought it might be a good idea to have a separate thread for lake and park closures due to COVID-19. Currently, lake and park closures are interspursed with other threads; perhaps this thread can be dedicated to just updates and information sharing related to lake and other closures To open, I decided this morning to use the web form that is available to send a letter to our Governor here in CA. I figured it cannot hurt. In my letter, copy below, I focused on the health and wellbeing aspects of my suggestion to open lakes and state parks figuring that is what the Governor is listening for. I did make a small reference to small businesses because I also think, not sure, that the Governor is interested in the economic health of small business. By extension I figure if the lakes and state parks open, the dealerships will certainly benefit. My letter below – I redacted my last name. To: Governor Gavin Newsom From: Chris Regarding: Boating in California State Parks Date: April 6, 2020 Delivered via email Dear Governor Newsom, The purpose of this letter is to ask for your support to open state parks for recreational boating. During this time of crisis, I realize this request may sound short-sighted or even selfish, but I would ask you to please consider the following when making your decision: · Recreational boaters usually live in the same house (families) drive to the lake in the same car and spend time in a single boat. · Recreational boating is truly a social distancing activity; families are in their own boats and never come within 10 feet of another boat. In fact, you more likely to pass within 6 feet of a hiker on a trail than you are to come within 10 feet of another boat. · As you know first-hand, this is a high stress time for all Californians. Recreational boating is a safe way to spend time out of the house and release some stress. Additionally, for those Californians that are unable to hike, recreational boating is a great alternative allowing all of us to get outside, soak up some sun and breathe in fresh air – all while practicing social distancing. · There is also a significant economic impact of lake closures on hundreds of small businesses. For example, local marina’s depend on recreational boating to survive. Local marina’s sell gas and goods from small stores. By following the established standard set by banks, local marinas can easily institute “one customer-at-a-time” protocols that will ensure social distancing while allowing local marinas to operate. While there are stay-safe and economy-helping aspects to recreational boating I realize you and your staff are very busy so I will stop here. In closing, I hope this letter reaches your desk and that you please take some time to consider this request. Thank you, Governor Newsom, for your consideration, Chris It may be a good idea for all of us to write our legislators asking for their support for our hobby and passion. Thanks, Chris
