Happy Thanksgiving!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Cruisers Net is so very grateful to you, our readers and our sponsors, for your support throughout 2020.
Even with the pandemic and the uncertainty of this year, we have so much for which to be thankful. Despite initial fears for the survival of marinas and the marine industry, it seems that many new boaters have turned to boating as a way of dealing with societal restrictions. Dealers report shortages of new and used boats to sell. Marinas are reporting nearly full slip capacities and slip sales. Boats have become safe havens – a way to be outside and distance oneself from the spread on COVID-19. September 2020 ranks as the second highest single-month total of new powerboats sold in more than a decade – Marina DockAge.
RESTORING BALLAST!
