The town of Edgartown in MA has just banned overnight anchoring
Katama Bay, a huge bay offering good protection!!! My understanding
is that they based their decision on Gray Water discharge.
Massachusetts sailors beware this is coming to a harbor near you.
We must stand up now before we have no place to take our boats to.

Where did you find out about the anchoring ban in Katama Bay? I’ve tried searching the webb but found nothing related to harbor.
