The beautiful "Boaters"

A few selects from a story I did for Al Jazeera on nautical Trump supporters blowing off steam during the first summer of COVID lockdowns. This trend swept the country and even got a shout out from the president, and I knew I had to see it. I ended up driving 8 hours round trip from New York City to Oneida Lake near Syracuse, New York, and jumping on the back of a random guy's jet ski for a day on the water.
