CBS New York September 6, 2021 The last unofficial weekend of the summer has people getting to the beach — and more than ever this year — on a boat. During the COVID-19 pandemic, boat owners say they've been reeling in big business renting out charters because outdoor activities are considered safer, CBS2's Lisa Rozner reported Sunday. Leah Kim thought she was taking a Titanic-inspired photo on a chartered boat for friends' birthdays on the Hudson River, but quickly realized her boyfriend wasn't taking part because he was down on one knee.
