Default Miami Passage - Day 6, completed - October 12

If you anchored by the stern and left a large parachute flying I doubt if
anyone else would care to anchor near enough to pass a wire to you for some
of your electrical power

And I can imagine the excess stress on the ground-tackle from the
parasail. At a minimum, hauling anchor would be "interesting" even if
you did remember to pull the beast back in. More likely is that you'd
drag through the anchorage if there's any wind to speak of.
