We'd picked up the Maptech Cruising Guide that had 3 moorings available if they had a yellow flag on them which meant the ball owner was away and that you could use them. We didn't come across any yellow flag, but did see one ball marked "guest" that's found on right side of mooring field (1st one) past the red marker. If we are approached to leave, we'll find a place that we can anchor in, this area has been dredged, so we doubt we can anchor here, but we're getting used to anchoring on our 2400nm Eastern Loop we're finishing up after beginning this beautiful sail of North American coast from west of Montreal, QC .

I was predisposed to dislike them for filling a Harbor of Refuge with mooring balls, but they are as welcoming and accommodating and plain old helpful as any strangers I've met on the water. The rule with the moorings is that you can grab any one that's empty, but might get booted if the owner shows up. I've called the club and been able to confirm that I was on a safe one, but that might not always be the case. The town dock is just south, and that's the right place to use as a dinghy dock for accessing restaurants and shopping, of which there is a ton. The walk to the main drag is nice, runs along a school, and Main St has multiple bookstores as well as a nice hardware store and plenty of food.
