Today's post is a work-in-progress as I need to connect with Jay Pinkham, Freeport's harbormaster for an interview. Jay has the best water view town office in Freeport located at the end of town wharf. Jay manages a busy harbor including a waiting list for those who like me would like a permanent mooring in the harbor. To be on the waiting list, you need to pay a $5.00 dollar yearly fee. The thinking behind this is that those who are willing to pay a yearly fee are truly interested in having a mooring. Last time I spoke with Jay I learned that the waiting list was significantly whittled down. Freeport residents are eligible to be on the waiting list which effectively means that as a Pownal resident I will not be able to get a mooring. However, there are moorings available at Strout's Point Marine and Brewer's, the two private firms that provide year round boat services. You can easily google "Freeport Maine harbormaster" to find out how to apply for a mooring. You might want to also check out http://www.maineharbors.com/ Fair winds and following seas!
