sailnaway is on a distinguished road
I would not take a mooring with out the owners permission. In allot of places the mooring is paid for every year a local harbor tax kind of thing. Some are permitted and only applied for one time for as long as the owner has the spot. Some are owned by the city. In all cases they are someones property empty or not ,so best to ask,they may want you to use it so you don't harm the sea bed. Here in Florida they belong to the citys and in some places they have so many its just a joke to say they are helping the enviroment YA RIGHT! they want money to hell with marine life. When you have 250 moorings side by side and boats blocking out the sun from the bottom guess what the bottom dies. This is the case in Florida and they say that it does not harm any marine life. I guess the Scripts people and Woods Hole are not that smart at least not as smart as the city planers and developers.
