Another term for this is off-set mooring and I've used the technique with great results too, and recomended it on a couple threads. However... One of our members tried it, and when going out for a cruise tossed the line back into the water. One day there was an MP nearby who cited him for unlicensed mooring. After reading that I was careful to look around when I launched. If there was an MP nearby I pulled the rig from the water before heading out.

My rig was set up with chain to the anchor and a loop of line toward the boat. This made it easier to snag if laid on the bottom, or accidentally dropped.

Good luck!
