As the 2005 season approaches we believe the maps show that the town right of way exists in pretty much as it had been described in lore. For this reason we think that kiteboarders should be allowed to access the harbor at Pocomo Point.

Also we believe that Massachusetts State Law supports our clear right to access the harbor from Pocomo Point. According to Massachusetts law "The right to navigate includes the right to conduct any activity involving the movement of a boat, vessel, float, or other watercraft, as well as the transport of people and materials and related loading and unloading activity;" which means that a Kiteboard, which is considered a vessel by Massachusetts Law has the right to load and unload from Pocomo Point, which means the launch and land, and thereby access the harbor.
