Phasma, not any longer. We tried that a few years ago but the winds kicked up late at night and it was pandemonium getting everyone unhooked. Plus, I had planned on staying there all night so I had a bit more to drink than I usually do, and WAY more than I would if I knew I would be moving the boat. I don't like backing the boat into the slip in a high wind so that night we just anchored out but in a different area where there were no boats around.
Most of the smaller boats leave by sunset so they can be back on the trailer and home before too late. The express cruisers are usually slipped and they take off around dusk. The one or two boats who are left usually head out shortly after dark.
It's interesting--there seems to be a direct INVERSE relationship between the size of the boat and the amount of booze consumed. Those of us with larger boats either don't drink at all (I drink water) or maybe have a beer or two during the course of the day.
The smaller boat skippers are the ones who are ship faced.
