From other Internet photoshopping questions, I understand that such changes can be detected by examining the enlarged edges of the suspect object for "blurring". Since I use only film—with no pixilations whatsoever—you're welcome to check for any and all irregularities: prepare for disappointment.

"Lack of depth of field" would indicate one object sharply in focus, with the foreground and/or background being out of focus. This photo has great depth of field: everything is in focus.

And I only see 1 anchored. I do agree though those 3 boats appear too close although you can't judge speed or distance from a pic that far away.
You may recall that this was a 2005 Poker Run. Your recollection after two years of your exact speed is truly remarkable.

It's also reassuring to know that a pleasureboat can still "showboat" at only 50-MPH. And we all know that "a Poker Run is not a Race". Your boat's photo may have followed the other photo. Boating, even by weekend standards, was especially hectic.

However, it was still a signature moment for me, as I was one of the two small stationary boats between the two markers, located in the sudden Poker Run rush. As the fisherman in the photo stated here:

Quote:
"It looks like my boat. If it was on July 30, 2005 outside of Winter Harbor it is me. The Marine Patrol came by for 1/2 an hour and those boats didn't buzz me at that point but as soon as the MP left it was back to the way the picture is."
Not one, but two, MP boats appeared together—perhaps someone on shore called them in. I was close enough to shore at one point to have a resident (a stranger to me) ask me if I wanted to borrow his video camera!

There was a time I'd have agreed with you. Among a new generation of boaters, "pleasure" has a whole new meaning.
