Peter, you gotta stop anchoring out like a hermit. Those girls waving
from
the docks are really worth the dock fees!....(c;


Door County Wisconsin transient dockage runs around $55-65 per night for
35
feet of boat ("Escapade"). All to supply my own hotel on the dock?
Anchoring
is free, and the shore is a short dinghy-ride away.


Hi KLC,
I don't know what the docking fees are here, I anchored until I cam up
on the hard but if you thin k your fees are steep, go to Europe 70
Euros $US 92) per night stern to quay plus water plus electricity for
a 40 foot boat and the tenable anchorages are getting harder to find.
Quite often you'd find an ideal sheltered anchorage on the chart
behind a point of land only to zoom in and find it marked as a
prohibited anchorage for no apparent reason. Nearby would be a marina.
Managed to avoid them though.

Peter

I imagine that the point of the prohibited anchorage was to drive customers
to the marina.
