Interesting. Pictures? Maybe someone can relive her and track the owners family down to do so?

Re: How long would you feel comfortable leaving your boat on anchor
DMF Sailing : "paying for sn expensive Ball."
You never have been to Croatia. The fine you with 40€ for as ball and up to 120€ for a marina berth. 40- ft and yes, not per week, per day!
And if you do not use a ball and try to anchor they ruin your teakdeck by throwing wasteoil on it at night.

Unfortunately not, especially the bareboat charters (most of the companies are fraudolent, in spite of small damages, nowadays.)
I am lucky. I do have an asylum where I can repair and upgrade my boat myself without any f...in marina troubles. And for this, greece is way off - unfortunately.
When I go out I try to anchor and to avoid restaurants, marinas, buoys and the so called "Natureparks". Just another way to jail us to marinas and buoys and to hijack us.
I.e. Lastovo: we paid 25 kunas per person and day which was OK so far.
Nowadays we have to pay 100 kunas (15€) per person and day.
In Croatia you get bed and breakfast for 120 kunas at ease.
OK sorry - off topic

You pay 15 a day now in most town docks in the Greek Ionian. That’s before water and electricity and you use your own anchor !!!

I have never been to Croatia.
There are two marinas in Provincetown (the harbor in my example) that offer moorings. For a 40-foot boat, one costs $78 a night, and the other $124. Pretty sure that's more than 40 Euros.
For a marina birth in that harbor I've paid as much as $8 a foot, which is $320. Pretty sure that's more than 120 Euros.
Now as for the waste oil, yeah, that's never happened to me. Priceless.

Let’s say this, would you feel comfortable leaving your boat on an anchorage for a weekend if the weather was unremarkable?

Last time I looked, there was no insurance company that covered your boat on anchor, unattended for more than a few hours at a time. There may be your answer.
For us, if we are just ashore, being able to see the boat regularly, then a day. A night - no way.

Re: How long would you feel comfortable leaving your boat on anchor
I’m getting old. I forgot I had a boat on a mooring for five years when I lived in Annapolis. I guess I got used to it, although it was close enough to my home that I could check on it with a two minute drive anytime I felt like it.
