its time to get out on the water
Today the government has updated it advice and boating is now permitted! The guidelines are as follows: - all forms of water sports practiced on open waterways, including sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, rowing, kayaking, surfing, paddle-boarding and the use of privately-owned motorised craft (in line with the guidance issued by the relevant navigation authority) are allowed. You can continue to use towpaths for walking, running and cycling, being mindful of other users and people living in boats along the water
- There are no restrictions on how far you can travel to get to the countryside. However, you cannot visit and stay overnight at a holiday home or second home.
David Barke - Harbour Master of Essex Marina says:
"Essex Marina is now open for business with immediate effect. Bertholders can now come down and visit the marina, goto their boats and now use them on the river for pleasure use. Please still abide by all government guidelines, but we look forward to seeing you all again"
On top of this, the Government is advising everyone to stay alert: - Stay at home as much as possible
- Work from home if you can
- Limit contact with other people
- Keep your distance if you go out (stay 2 metres (6ft) apart where possible)
- Wash your hands regularly
