Waiting #2

I mentioned that I am also waiting for a mooring.  I’m actually just waiting for installation of a mooring.  The local harbormaster has approved my application and assigned me a spot off the local beach.  This is not an ideal location, because the area is exposed to the predominant southeasterly breeze.  There is also no dock or ramp, so to get out to your boat you have to launch a dinghy through the waves.

There are better locations in town, but there are waiting lists for them.  So I’ll take my mooring at the beach because it means I’ve got a place to put the boat right away.  Some might call me lucky, because while I was on vacation on Cape Cod a few weeks ago, I read that most towns had waiting lists that were thousands of names long!  People are waiting 12 – 15 years for a spot to place their mooring!!

I have contracted with a mooring service and expect my mooring to go in sometime next week.  We’ll see how this beach mooring works out….
