Re: Why do sailors?
It's a lot of bother to go arounf and gather them all in, especially when you are just going back to the dock in an hour anyway.

Re: Why do sailors?
Here in the Adriatic if you use an anchor-bouy the idiot charterboaters will tie to it. If you leave your fenders out they will think you are available to raft up with........we hide the fenders!

Happened to me in McCovey cove during a Giants game. A guy in a Bayliner picked up my anchor buoy and was tying up to it before I chased him off.
Haven't used an anchor buoy ever since.

Perhaps I should sprinkle a few about, secured to 20 pound rocks, and then take video.
