I have been wanting to get back out on the water, so I might just have to cross my fingers, wear my mask and say a prayer. We all know that this beautiful weather only lasts so long in Buffalo, so I do want to enjoy some of it before the snow comes back.

Buffalo Harbor Cruises has started Miss Buffalo Cruise tours, according to WIVB. There are some changes to make note of, including the reduction in capacity. Normally, the ship holds 185 people, but now, it will only allow 80 people on any given cruise. Masks will be required of guests up until you find a nice socially distanced spot to stay in.

“We ask that they wear masks when they go into the ticket booth, when they get in line and board the vessel, but once they get to a spot where they’re safely socially distance from everybody else they can take off their mask if they feel comfortable.” ~ Ryan Hayhurst, President of Buffalo Harbor Cruises, via WIVB
