It wasn't that easy, but at times you could find a cove of your own, like on this picture.
Since the waters in this Archipelago are mostly 60-80 meters deep, most boats end up in the relatively few protected anchorages at night. Typically we would motor into a little bay and just drop the hook as soon as the depth sounder was down to 10 meters. The water was clear down to 15 meters, so it was an interesting practice to watch the anchor set and to be able to dive down on it if need would be.
In the Baltic Sea, you can rarely see more than 1 meter deep.
Apart from this we didn't see THAT many boats during daytime. Most of them where charterboats though and this industry is growing raoidly it seems.
Marinas are never far away, and are really nice, close to pure luxury at times. Evertyhing comes at a price and the fee seemde to be around ?'? 45 for 'our' 33-footer
That's a lot of money for access to a bathroom and shore power in my humble opinion. each to his owm though
