But given the 3-4' of water in Braun Bay, and its relatively protected area (from the wind - lots of tall trees) I dont think they were in any danger. If they removed the rear anchor and the other boats around them did not, then there is the potential for the boat to swing in the wind and cause a collision.

I kinda figured, that's why I wrote "perhaps". The rest of my post was meant solely to be educational. In your situation, I think I would have said "yup" and then ignored the MP and kept on doing what you were doing with the battery.
