On-line testing was a breeze—then they changed the rules.

The very first post asks us "why traffic is down". A few opinions are offered.
From my dock—and even on the best of days—traffic is way down this year and is following a five-year trend. School kids appear to be out there already.
I haven't seen a reduction in gas costs, labor costs, new boat prices or insurance—ever.

Our "lake-boats" are all under 23-feet, so that'd be us in the way.
