Steveston Marine 6ft protocol for Covid-19

Boating is one hobby that is safe during all the gloom and doom of Covid-19.

During these difficult times of Steveston Marine & Hardware is committed to try and keep the customers and staff safe.

As boating provides a safe refuge and recreation and social distancing to individuals and their families, customers are ordering product on line or coming into the stores where we practice safe social distance by posting signage and extra counters to create a minimum 6 ft distance between staff and customers. Counters, door handles, visa machine pin pads are sanitized frequently during the day.

Customers are also phoning in orders which are then kept ready for pickup at the service counters.

As seen on the TV:

“A gentleman stocking up on beer said he was going sailing as that was safe social distancing”, said Iqbal Ladha

Safe boating to all from the crew at Steveston Marine.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
