Louisiana Awash with New Boaters Following Pandemic
Chances are you spent at least part of your time this past Memorial Day weekend on the road. By all accounts, the roadways were packed with motorists eager to escape to a place that is somewhere other than here after being cooped up for a year or so with coronavirus restrictions. This was the first major holiday the nation and Louisiana have experienced since a large portion of those restrictions were lifted and people were eager to get out and drive and maybe even more so to get out on the water.
While it s not unusual to have a lot of congestion on the roadways during a holiday weekend it is a little unusual to see a large number of watercraft that were out on the lakes, bays, bayous, and beaches of Louisiana this past weekend. But when you think about it, it all makes sense.
