My background comes from the Coast. I have anchored, picked up moorings for rent, anchored, and accepted "complimentary" moorings from Yacht Clubs and Boat Yards from Connecticut to Bar Harbor. I have never run across the Scenario that I suggested a few posts ago about ...Hobo Anchorages.

There WAS a problem with this trend a couple of decades ago in Florida.

Along the Coast (North of Marblehead) you won't see "Gatherings" of boats. The boats that cruise the coast North are NOT Amateurs. They are seasoned "Cruisers".

No disrespect intended but my point here is the people on Winni ARE NOT the same people boating /CRUISING in Salt Water. NB
