Under Governor Hogan's new Stay At Home Order, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources has issued a mandate regarding boating in Maryland. Here are the nuts and bolts of the mandate and also a link to the site with full details.
“Under the executive order, no Marylander should leave their home except for an essential reason. Therefore, recreational boating is not allowed. Limited hunting and limited recreational fishing and crabbing can continue to provide sustenance, however social distancing must be adhered to strictly. No permits for fishing tournaments, including virtual tournaments, will be issued by the department until further notice. Commercial fishing is deemed essential and may continue since it is part of the food supply chain." https://news.maryland.gov/…/dnr-issues-guidance-on-governo…/ We’re very excited to share with you that we have added a 3rd TowBoat to our fleet. Here’s our behind the scenes story of how we transformed a hull into a fast response marine towing and salvage vessel. We couldn’t have done it without the help of Bluewater Marine Specialist and a few great welders. Our whole family was involved in this process, we look forward to seeing you on the water!
