BT1 In this survey, we’re interested in time people spent on recreational boats. That
means boats that aren’t used for purposes that make money. When I ask you about time
spent on boats, please think about recreational boats. This could include boats that are
rented—such as canoes—or boats that are privately owned by you or someone else.
For this question, please think about all time in recreational boats both on the water and
when the boat was docked.
