The Town has reserved Town Dock #2 (the one with the pumpout on it, near the Public Restroom) from July 23, 12 noon, until July 25, 12 noon.) No rafting is allowed on any of the docks. We're in the height of shrimp season, and rafting can get the boater blocked in by a trawler (we know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two) Other space is available at Town Dock #1 first come, first served, but will not be reserved for this event. Once tied up, sailors can dock for up to 48 hrs.
