I was talking with a marine insurance adjuster, who told me that this season has been his busiest season ever. Also, he mentioned some really bad boat accidents involving fatalities. I thought it strange, until he went on to say that boat sales in our area have been the highest in a long time. He concluded that many people went out and bought boats, basically to get out of the house during COVID, with very little knowledge regarding operating them.
My neighbor had just returned from a day trip and confirmed that the amount of boats on the water was very high and that many were driving recklessly (or "insane" as he put it). It made me feel better as my boat is currently on the hard for maintenance of the running gear. I'm hearing concerns of danger on the water.
Has anyone else experienced this?
