Summary
Harbor Master John Keena told the commission that winter ice ripped away moorings in Scott Cove, leaving two abandoned mushroom anchors protruding from the water; the contractor will remove them to prevent injury or vessel damage.
During his harbor report, John Keena said winter ice in Scott Cove dragged moorings and ripped away winter sticks and buoys, accounting for missing moorings at that location.
Keena reported he discovered two abandoned mushroom anchors protruding from the water, which "pose hazards to boats and swimmers." He said the contractor will remove these anchors to prevent injury or vessel damage. The commission did not vote on any new mooring assignments for Scott Cove at this meeting, but the removal was presented as an imminent safety action.
