I would have answered never enough if you arrive too late. We regularly see people circling just prior to sunset.

Horizon yacht charters used to recommend testing a mooring just like your anchor. Back down on it and see if it holds. I don't know If they still recommend this practice.
There are pictures on line where moorings in white bay jvd have failed and the boat ends up on shore.
Testing the mooring is not likely to be effective at white bay when a swell is running.

I've never set an anchor alarm. I back down on the mooring, inspect it when possible and do the same when anchoring.
