I've often wondered why people with "big" boats, didn't anchor and use a dinghy. Very few people do on the lake, very few people have dinghys. I wonder how the MP would react to a bunch of large boats anchored in front of the the town docks.

I'm not saying you should have to do this, there should be plenty of spots for a 24' boat and people should respect your place in line. Sailboats with a deep keel and large power crusiers have limited docking opportunities, a dinghy gives them a few more choices.

If the crew and guests aren't crazy about the dinghy, there is a usually a spot to drop them off, then anchor the boat and dinghy in.
