⚫ Lake Winnipesaukee
can be "wonderfully peaceful and quiet"; however, boats anchored overnight face the prospect of other boats wending their way amongst her 258 islands in the darkness.
⚫ In the dark,
entire islands have been struck—off the top of my head—to include
Rattlesnake Island (multiple times),
Parker Island,
Camp Island,
Diamond Island, and
Eagle Island.
(Although—
technically—the collision with
Camp Island can't be counted as "anchored-overnight")
⚫
Any anchored boat would place its occupants in far greater peril than any island-dweller from such misadventures.

Schadenfreude—anyone?)
