A NY Yacht Club cruise and a race ending at Wood's Hole meant that
several hundred boats decided to stay at Hadley's, where normally a
dozen or so might stay. We snuck up this little cove and double
anchored in about 4-5 feet. Every 10 minutes a boat would head our
way and then realize it wasn't going to work. The boat on the right
foreground about as close in as a keel boat could get.

One time we anchored in Newfound Harbor (near Key West) and I hopped
overboard to clear out a clogged seacock. I had flippers on, and the
keel came down on a flipper and held it on the bottom a while. I
guess we cut it a bit too close that time.

Pretty crowded! When I was in Belize, I regularly checked the depth by
seeing if I could actually get a flipper underneath the keel.
