Here’s another interesting article about distancing, I went searching when I heard people were being ticketed. I found it hard to believe you could be ticketed on a boat if it was large enough to social distance. Not suggesting people ignore the guidance, but if anyone did in fact get a ticket and it was for not social distancing, perhaps the authorities overstepped their bounds. See bold portion.
