Yes we see less traffic on the broads. Gas is cheaper, cost of a boat loan or slip rental is mostly constant and inflation is mostly stable too. My guess is that more people who bought during Covid are "back in the office" and don't have as much weekday flexibility. On a personal excuse, we scheduled boat launch for ice out and had a tech planned for April 24. The boat did not get launched until July 12 and the tech not available until July 21. Our marina says too much rain and not enough qualified staff. In fairness to the new manager, the old manager tucked the boat way back in the barn and nobody could get to it until special equipment was brought in to move other boats.
