The local folks who want to close this area to anchoring (for their
own personal gain) just finished killing Champlin's plan to enjoy the
fruits of free enterprise on the other side of the same island, saying
building more docks at the expense of anchorage areas for tourists was
the WRONG thing to do.

Follow the money. If Champlain's expanded their docks it would not
cut into the anchorage area, it would cut into the town's mooring area
which is generating a tidy bit of revenue at almost no cost.

Same issue at Old Harbor. Folks are anchoring for free. Imagine
that, something for free in this day and age.
