New boating rules due to the Coronavirus for Florida boaters
I fully support and greatly appreciate everything our local law enforcement officers do. Because of them we can enjoy our day out on the water… But, at a time like this and with these new rules in place, what were they thinking rafting up like this? This was just too strange to not take a picture of it.
Last weekend you could see boaters throughout the Miami area following the new rules to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. But as always there were a few exceptions.
It seemed the first week with the new rules the law enforcement officers were giving warnings, but now they are handing out citations. Please everyone follow the rules and guidelines setup by the World Health Organization, national government, and all local governing bodies.
