In spite of Covid, lots of tourists who come by boat are still tying
their boats together to socialize. I've seen as many as seven boats
tied up, with people hopping from boat to boat with apparently no
social distancing going on. There would be no risk to the locals if
they stayed on their boats, but they come ashore for supplies, etc.

Mixed feelings: Lots of the small businesses on Quadra are
tourist-dependent, but we also have an older population that
would probably not do well if there were an outbreak.

Best viewed at original size.

It's a difficult time for sure, humans are social animals, and we tend to be out
and about more in summer. Especially after a long cold winter for us Northerners.

Are a lot of them Americans? It wouldn't surprise me. I would love to be out on a boat right now but not socializing with anyone. ~V~

There are too many irresponsible and selfish people. This plague will never go away. I do like the composition with the boats and view into the distance. V

Interesting and well composed shot. Very nice quality with the D200.
We have the same problem here with tourists and the tourist industry.

Selfish and dangerous people are now being found the world over.

This would be such fun under normal conditions - it seems there are those who just don't care - but I have noticed that a lot of young people are masking up now ! V

I like Carl´s comment. There are some "covidiots" around here.V.

All of the 3 comments apply. Those boat people are terribly irresponsible.

an upbeat image...pity if the good times come at a serious cost..

I'm sure it's fun for the boaters, but seems like pretty irresponsible behavior, especially when visiting a place that so far hasn't had an outbreak. Nicely captured grouping of boats.

Don't take away THEIR freedom, Don. I really like the term "Covidiots".
