It seems every time I anchor with a group of
boats, they other skippers want to anchor close
to me. If I anchor last, it is not uncommon to see
other boats pull anchors and move even closer.
I call this the "herd" instinct.

What should a "non-leaf-eater" do in this situation?

Play music real loud.

git naked. they *will* leave.

depends on who you are talking to.

In your case anyone not blind... even the Glory Sail members would leave the
harbour!

....unless of course there is a whaling fleet nearby! :-P

Learn to play the electric guitar. In fact, practice playing your
electric guitar REAL LOUD on deck... naked.

It'll drive away most of the boats... all of them, in many cases, and it
will have the bonus of attracting crazy women who want to drink tequila
and show you their body piercing(s).

Here's an example how not to:

1- acoustic instead of electric guitar
2- boat tied to dock instead of anchored
3- clothes... poor taste, sure, but not as offensive as buck naked
4- woman has no tattoos, no piercings, no tequila

You should be able to do better!

I have no answer, but your observation is valid.
My most recent example is in Port Jefferson, the Wednesday after the
4th. I pull into the large anchorage at 2pm and I am absolutely
alone. 11:30 pm, I awaken to a strange noise, go up on deck to find I
am no longer alone. The only other boat in the anchorage, that wasn't
there when I went to bed, has anchored so close that his dinghy is
banging on my boat.
