Perhaps they are doing takeaway coffees and food too ? Then their tables aren't tied up ? Should be a bit of passing traffic there ? Good luck to them.

We bought this a few years ago but my wife hasn't taken to it like she thought. It's kept in immaculate condition by the syndicate - well worth a look if anyone is interested in getting a boat of their own - start here and see what you think. http://www.carefreecruising.com/boats/skylark/

People will only start paying attention when it's their own friends and family dying. But by then the virus will be so widespread. Do they think that turning the Excel exhibition centre into a hospital has been done lightly ? Jeez.

Lots of boaters complaining about people passing them on the footpath ? Seems a house would be a better bet for self isolation ?

Lockdown like they have abroad will be coming. That might help things.

Bloody scary. I've seen the cutoff is 60 in Italy and still people are treating this like it's a bank holiday. Off to the DIY shop for supplies. Nipping to the shop for some beers. Awful times ahead.

Maybe going back to base ?

Evidence needed for this. You're sounding like a crackpot now. I'd not be going on a shared boat at the moment. You're at the mercy of whoever has been on the boat - they won't necessarily know if they're infected or not. Why risk it ? If they have it - the upholstery will have the virus. Sure it's a pain when it's your holiday - but please do not mess around with this virus. Healthy 30 year olds are dying. If your house is a safe haven now - stay there. There will be holidays later on.
