<p>Here in Brazil the marinas have been closed since March 15, but the waters are open for navigation, who have a boat in the independent buoy, and have access to the beaches, are able to sail. But many ports are closed, meaning you can leave and return to the same port. I went sailing with my wife, with different hygiene care on the way home / boat. Public transport is a major contagion site. Unfortunately, we have a crazy president who will be a tragedy in the coming months / years.…</p>

<p>after May, 25. I and all others can start.</p>
<p>The marina is open, but travelling is forbidden. So I can't reach the marina before May, 25.</p>

<p>In Kansas the State parks and lakes remain open for boating and camping and the Park Department is encouraging people to get out and enjoy them. Social distancing rules do still apply, such as no gathering of more than 10, etc. The very nature of camping, fishing and boating in itself does distance people I suppose. That said, I took the Mrs for a drive around one of our larger lakes last weekend and saw very few people anywhere and only a couple of fishers at a launch ramp, none at the…</p>

It's coming, we're told. </p>
