He wouldn't have been the mayor. Littleton has a board of selectmen. You may be referring to the town manager. Although, in '69? Don't know.
That was the first and so far only time I've been to that area. I plan to return eventually!
Any update on Tashmoo anchoring restrictions? The last I saw was https://www.tisburyma.gov/sites/tis...moo_pond_eelgrass_area_no_anchorage_zones.jpg
First I've heard of that. We'll be sailing down that way this season to join the John Alden event at Mystic Seaport. Lake Tashmoo is one of our favorite overnight anchorages on MV. I'd like to know if there is no place to anchor in there.
It's bigger in real life. They are berthed neat the retired America's Cup boats. Big money area.
Here is a photo of the dark colored one from the side. This is a better perspective.
TomY and Captian Larry... I just saw your questions, and hadn't been back in here to reply for a while. Anyhow... Last summer we did visit Tashmoo, and the anchorage is much more limited from how it was in the past. Depending on your boat, and what you're looking for there is still some anchoring. Once you get past the flats just inside the entrance to Tashmoo, there is still the big area to starboard (west) of the channel... its pretty shallow over there, and tends to attract more daytrippers and can get a little crazy/crowded/loud over there... mostly powerboats... sometimes rafted up, and a little too much "spring break" atmosphere for my taste... but to each his own. For decades I've been anchoring farther south, kind of near the town dock on Lake Street... that area is all closed to anchoring now, and they were patrolling and kicking people out last year at least. I'm sure it's a phenomenal place to anchor over there if you draw around 4 feet, and it's a Tuesday in May or October... but on a Saturday in August it's not my style. I want to hear the crickets, and read a book... if I were looking for a party, I'd go to Oak Bluffs, not Lake Tashmoo.
