But just like your yard, from the street, technically the first 3 feet is public/town access, so if you leave something on that part of the yard, is it free to use?
But I also wouldn't hesitate to anchor where I used to if I did it frequently enough. People do it all the time all around the lake. I'm not one to anchor out frequently though, but I see it all the time.

First three feet? Where did you et that? In some areas the street is a right of way from hundreds of years, in others it is yielded to the town as part of a development, and many variations in between. There are no simple definitions without research for a specific location.
Registered boat? My canoe is just as much mine as any registered boat.
