But personal sentiments aside, I'm surprised that you think it's in any way OK for the scene in that photo--it's completely out of balance.
I didn't say I was ok with that scene. I said there's a balance to be had in terms of respect—people who anchor in front of homes and people who own those homes.

Like anything, there's a saturation point—one of my consistent complaints about the Dive was that they stretched that point...especially in regards to using WAM sandbar almost exclusively. As someone who enjoyed going there, I was annoyed at how often my experience was tainted by its presence and can totally understand how others, including the homeowners there, were too.

A question about Braun Bay, though—where are the houses on that side?! I can't see any when anchored out over there.
