Acting Harbormaster Appointment

Town Manager Neil Harrington announced today that long-time Harbormaster Ray Pike will be retiring on June 30 after many years of service to the Town.  He will be replaced for the 2020 summer season by Asst. Harbormaster Willem van de Stadt, who will be named Acting Harbormaster, and Deputy Harbormaster Reggie Santos, who will take on added responsibilities.  Both van de Stadt and Santos are long-time assistants who have many years of boating experience and are familiar with all aspects of the Harbormaster’s operations. 

“Ray Pike has served the Town well for many years, and I wish him well as he moves on to enjoy a new phase of his life,” Harrington said.  “I am confident that Willem and Reggie will be able to keep the operation of the Harbormaster’s office flowing smoothly for this boating season, and I am grateful that they have accepted their new assignments.”  Over the winter, the Town will have a formal search for a new Harbormaster, with the goal of making sure the new person is on board by next spring and up to speed before the beginning of the 2021 summer season
