Aye Captain Glenn. TELL IT !!!!!
Setting a lunch hook at Cooper is one thing. A swim/snorkel, boat lunch-- I get it . MOVE TO A MOORING if you plan to stay overnight, and have Plan B for another place to overnight should there not be a mooring open up. Execute Plan B when there is ample time to complete Plan B.
Even securely on a mooring in Cooper is no guarantee of a peaceful night. BTDT, 2 AM to 5 AM all hands on deck, all fenders out, dinghy snugged up close, Iron Jenny fired, and boats swinging every which way AND LOOSE. Absolutely nutso, and happens very quickly.
Don't get caught in a seriously nasty situation because you haven't heard about it or are just too comfy and complacent.
