Well, it looks like we've gotten the answer from

I can commiserate with the family at the cottage in the photo. It's like strangers at a tailgate party at the end of your driveway.
"Watching" was easy, as my social-hour usually runs out of "beverage" just before sunset.
That was yesterday, and I'd never seen a boat anchored along that shore before!
He'd apparently found a special patch among the "cobblestones" and, as you can see, the breeze wasn't strong enough to upset his anchor.
In this area, most
windward shores have this "cobblestone" bottom. My
lee shore is sandy, and perfect for overnight anchoring.
But that's OK—I've never had to play my Jerry Falwell tapes loudly in anyone's direction.
Dragging the anchor "unexpectedly" at night would endanger Camp Osseo's two long docks and dozens of boats.
