No the moorings extend west and north from where my boat is 
In Response To: Are all the boats to the right of the town pier anchored? ()
() My boat was on one of the most southerly moorings, but the mooring field extends quite a ways west. There were no moorings between my boat and the large catamaran on my port bow -- those white dots are white caps (it was blowing 20+k from the west). The shoal water extends quite a ways out from the beach and the mooring field goes close to the shoal water. To anchor you'd have to go south of my boat and/or west closer to the cat or CG cutter. It's somewhat exposed where we were, and the ferries/whale watching boats pass west of the breakwater at a pretty good rate of speed, throwing substantial wakes.

- With a forecast of NW 15 to 20, gusts to 30, I had a good sail to Provencetown to the Northeast.
- Except for one wave that cleared the port veeberth shelf of books, things started to smooth out.
- As the waves stretched out more, speed went up.
- Plenty of time to grab the camera and go ashore.
- There are a few characters, like any popular place.
- This is why many of us stop there by sailboat.
- actually, it is a pretty big harbor
- Holding? I had a mooring Jerry. It's pretty tight in there.

- I've been in there -- with the large boat traffic, I found it pretty rolly with the wind out of the south and southwest.
