On Wednesday afternoon Maryland Governor Larry Hogan lifted the ban on recreational boating that had caused his state’s boaters to champ at the bit for more than a month.

Maryland was the last state to lift its restriction on recreational boating to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, but social distancing guidelines are still in effect.
