Can we cruise again?

Following Boris’s speech. In England we can now travel around as much as we want it seems, so will CRT be saying that cruising is back on as long as social distancing is done? Thoughts?

Hope so, if non essential travel is now allowed then don't see why not.

There was significant disobedience of the rules so things were changing anyway

 

No activity outside of your home group is permitted without observing social distancing.

I will not be changing much  and will settle for a more gradual change with working from home and  next weekend visiting the boat but not going anywhere immediately.

They have never been prohibited from living on their boats.

There was no comment on not being allowed to travel on the boats, thats to do with CRT advising us under GUV guide lines, but going there you can as long as you use common sense for leisure.  

 

CRT will decide tomorrow or in a day or so if they advise us not to cruise or even be on our boats.

 

Its all common sense isnt it.

You're gonna look such a dick when we are all allowed to go boating aren't you :)

 

Better than looking such a dick most of the time though ;)

No but they banned non-essential travel. This led to CRT asking for all non essential boat movement to stop. 

So therefore then as folk can drive a lot further in a car than a boat in a short time then i cant see why we cant cruise again.

No.

 

We are such a vanishingly small and irrelevant section of special interests that we don't count for diddly squat.

 

The ban was brought in under the "holiday homes, caravans and campsites and similar facilities" rule, so until the scouts can go jamboree, and the emmets can all go to Cornwall we can't go boating.

The .Gov has removed the Stay At Home from the slogans, Stay Alert now being the obscure and nonenforcable slogan.

We will be chugging out, maintaining 2m distance from the towpath , at the earliest opportunity.

Go as in on the boat or cruising .

 

I guess then on the boat at all.

Apparently we have to "Stay Alert", rather than stay at home now, so as long as you stay alert and inspect all surfaces and airborne particles and droplets with an electron microscope for the virus you'll be fine.

 

What do you mean, you don't have an electron microscope?

There was nothing specific to say you can in the announcement tonight.  There may be more in the document to be released tomorrow.  I doubt that will be specific enough for such a minority activity.  You and us all will have to wait for CRT to make an announcement.

 

However, if one lives in Wales or Scotland the answer is a definite NO.
