Seems to say small boat travel for pleasure is considered non essential.

I called the # on that public advisory. Was told this is about recreational boaters crossing borders is now banned. It’s misleading the way it reads. We can still social distance on our boats and fish in NY waters. Called Coast Guard too and they confirmed no ban on recreational boating.

Just talked to them and they said no ban as of now but more clarification on regs tomorrow afternoon.

Its written incorrectly.   All pleasure activities are obviously non-essential.  It would be like banning a walk in the woods.

And yet DEC seems to encourage fishing with their weekly report and yet in the same breth they are saying all DEC boat launches are closed through 4/29

I called again today and was told there is no restriction on boating but suggest staying in the states water.
