Same here when there is one. Out in the big world it's rarely an option though unless it's a dreadful anchorage. All the nice places are busy.... should try anchoring in more out-of-the-way places. In the majority of the places where I anchor, I am the only boat.

I've seen a few of the expressions when the guy at the front watches the anchor chain and all dissappear into the deep....My problem with charter boat anchoring , as per post#1, is not so much the quality of gear but the shortage of chain and the lack of length markers, so we all end up huddled in the shallow bits
We’d rather have a considerate boat with babies on board than some utter numpty swinging into us in the night.The nappy 'trick' was mentioned in a book that I read as a way to keep other boats away and the boat didn't have baby's. They found though that it attracted boats with baby's, etc !
Absolutely.....all boats weathercock....just not at the same time. And let’s not forget those who also set a stern anchor so they keep their stern to the beachHow many of you have been hit by some one swinging into you in the night?
I have been in many times in anchorages in the med which have been packed extremely tightly. Also at night the wind is often very changeable.
The dance and how the different boats drift around each other is absolutely fascinating to watch - much more so than a classical ballet such as Swan Lake.
Do you have any friends?Whom to avoid anchoring near to? That brings up the ensign theory:
- Not near a French ensign. Enough said.
- At least several hundred yards from an Irish ensign - they'll invite themselves aboard and then eat and drink all of your provisions and never reciprocate and then bang on and on about how shyte you and your boat are.
- Red duster - the first thing they'll ask is wadda you want.
- Seth Efricans - too much smoke from their daily braai (bbq)
- Septics - too loud
- .....
