Funny, I had a run in with the marine patrol a few years ago on this. The lakefront owner gave me permission to anchor overnight as I was a guest. I slept on the shore so the boat was unoccupied. Yet the Marine Patrol gave us a summon because we did not have a mooring permit???????? The boat can only be anchored to a proper mooring? The lakefront owner paid the summons as he lives in CT and does not have the resources to contest in court.
