40out of town permits can be purchased on line for Ryders cove landing.Find out from harbormaster.
As bad as that sounds it's not bad considering bass fishermen,comercial clammers, sealwatch boats and summer renters with boats are all trying to use the ramps

Just heard the proposal passed last night . . . as I understand the new regs

40 spots available for out of town folks are only available to non-residents OUTSIDE of the June 1st - Sept 15th. i.e. there is no parking for non-residents b/w June 1st and Sept 15th. Supposedly the parking and ramp restrictions go into effect July 6th.

You mean to tell me you cannot use the ramp at Ryder's cove unless you're a chatham resident?

Got my resident sticker.

I hope Sandwich, Banstable, and Sesuit get together and ban any truck/trailer with a Chatham sticker.
That way when Scorton goes off in August they can all go play with themselves on the backside.

This has been discussed down my way.
Won't bother me, but look out Fairhaven and NB! Enjoy your fish racks all over the ramp!
