Having spent some time around the Marco sailing community, I am afraid that you are right. Younger folks simply can't afford Marco any more, and the wonderful Waterways folks have made their voices clear...those us us that anchored are not welcome. I was a crusier, not a racer, and enjoyed anchoring over night, for the day and just hanging out on the hook. I got tired of the dirty looks and reading all the comments about how sailboats that anchored were taking away from the property values of those forced to view the eyesores on the horizon. My fear is that sailing and Marco are not good partners, but if you've got a nice Post, Viking or Lazzara, you're welcome!
