‘Anchor-outs’
dwindling
So-called “anchor-outs” squatting in boats in Richardson Bay have dwindled in numbers under a state mandate to enforce stays to 72 hours.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has charged the Richardson Bay Regional Agency to get “anchor-outs” from permanently living in the bay to protect environmentally sensitive waters. In 2019, there were an estimated 200 anchor-outs skirting rules against living in the bay. Today there are about 60. The deadline for ending anchor-outs is October 2026.
Marin County is working with the RBRA to provide land accommodations for the anchor-outs.
