We were out today and my wife remarked, "It seems just as busy as any other year." I thought the same thing. There were the same number of boats where we usually anchor, and same nutty traffic around the Weirs -- as with any other first bike weekend. Traffic was backed up on the Boulevard, lots of boats in Paugus, and we couldn't see a real difference.
Our marina noted that gas sales are way off to date, but said they were still putting in and taking out roughly the same number of boats as they had in the past. We all speculated that folks are out on the water, but more than likely spending more time anchored than under way in an effort to conserve fuel.
Time will tell...
