Steve Voss of McHenry finishes training for the day with his canoe on Wednesday, July 29, 2020 at The Hollows in Cary. Voss, an experienced boater and American Canoe Association level 4 instructor, tries to get at least one of his 24 boats out on the water every day of the year. "It's more like an addiction," Voss said. "I've done it my entire life." Voss stresses the importance of floatation devices, such as life jackets, and has noticed an increase in inexperienced boaters, some of whom not using lifejackets, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
