My name is Donald Law and my family owns 581 Old Post rd. and 595 Old Post rd. on
the water in Cotuit. We have had the g ood fortune of sailing in Cotuit since the
1970s successfully campaigning our Wianno Senior while also sailing other small boats.
As a family we have often been challenged sailing in and out of Cotuit harbor without a
motor attempting to clear the island on a foul tide and light wind. A percentage of our
summers have been spent navigating this area . And as ever yone who has sailed small
boats around the tip of the island knows, it is a significant challenge at times to get in.
The island has recently been cut back but mother nature has since been working to
reverse these changes and it has begun to close up again. It is inconceivable that
someone would add a twenty-foot extension onto a dock that would severely limit
navigation for all those who sail. We strongly oppose this idea and think this is
significantly increasing what is already a hazardous area of navig ation.
Best,
Donald Law
