MCA Editorial·July 2026
The mark of a good boater is that no one can tell they were there.
Every anchorage, beach and reef we love was left in that state by someone. Leave it the same or better for the next person.

Rubbish
Everything you brought comes back. Everything you find, if you can, comes back too.
Anchoring on Sand, Not Coral
The difference is metres. Look before you drop.
Grey Water and Toilets
Never in an anchorage. Never near a beach. It matters even if nobody's watching.
Things to Think About
- Do you leave anchorages better than you found them?
- Do you know what's beneath your anchor before it drops?
- Are your onboard habits the same when nobody else is around?
Key Takeaways
- The next boat's experience depends on yours.
- Anchor placement is a five-second decision with a five-year impact.
- Habits matter more than rules.
