Allow single participant sea sports

Allow canoeing, kayaking, sailing, surfing and paddle-boarding
Many folk live close to where they can carry out this kind of activity without any travel or breaching of social distancing rules..

Why the contribution is important

It is good for the body and soul. Can we add it to the allowed exercise list please?

    Easy for an existing family group to social distance why sailing. No need to go ashore, except emergency, as provisions from local marina can last for several weeks.

    There's not currently a law against this as you can leave your house to exercise with members of your household but it would be good to have some clarity on best practice.

    This is not the problem, the problem is we should be allowed to travel short distances in a vehicle to take part in these sports. Especially where social distancing is not a problem.

    I'd say the problem is the extent of travel to the sea coupled with the possibility of calling out the coastguard / lifeboat. Perhaps an explicit limit of say 25 miles each way from your home could apply.
