Maryland has put out guidance about exceptions to Governor Hogan's stay at home order. The order exempts going out for exercise and kayaking and paddle boarding are expressly mentioned as forms of exercise is the guidance. Canoeing isn't mentioned but I am interpreting that to be included in "exercise" too. So at least I can go out and paddle rather than go stir-crazy in Maryland. Social distancing and limits on gathering sizes must still be observed, but in my 16 foot tandem, I can probably even have a bow paddler (if I can find one).
Curious if others in states (or in Canada) with stay at home orders have similar guidance. Of course, for some of you it is a moot point because you are still dealing with hard water.
Here's a link to the guidance and an excerpt.

Can I go boating?
Recreational boating is prohibited until the governor lifts the executive order or until the State of Emergency has ended. However, if an individual is boating to seek food for them or their family, boating is permitted. Boats used to transport essential employees or goods as defined in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce are also permitted.
Does kayaking or paddle boarding count as recreational boating?
Since kayaking and paddle boarding are a form of exercise, they are permitted under the executive order. Guidance on social distancing and the prohibition on social gatherings must be strictly followed.
