This is really a great idea, EXCEPT I have one major gripe with it. I have 
seen "on the go" loopers (those that want to stay one or two days) turned 
away for lack or space because a few "disappearing" loopers have abandoned 
their vessel for a week or two at one of the few precious spots.

Instead try finding a weekly rate at one of the local marinas, eg Albany 
Yacht Club.

I wish Waterford, during the busy season, would restrict the floating docks 
to those "on the go".
