People are broke.. Newport used to be an absolute ZOO in the harbor, along fort adams and out to castle hill.. now, all you see is boats at the dock and at the mooring and a fraction of the boat traffic of the 'good ol days' that you used to see...
Brewers, Winsted and my marina in Warwick Cove were particularly empty of the big boats. I think a lot of them went to the Block. I was in EG yesterday morning about 8 and there was virtually no boat traffic at all.
we went to the (usually) most crowded jetty on LI over the weekend expecting a zoo. Ended up all alone with no one in sight.
Except mosquitoes,,,,,millions of those
