What's rude about it?
A public anchorage is not your own private yacht club.
Get over yourselves.
I have AC on my boat and if I want to run it, the AC is up. I shut it down
if I am comfortable with the AC off overnight, primarily to save the wear
and tear on the unit more than anything else.
It isn't about being rude. Its about having a reasonable set of
expectations.
Expecting complete quiet on the water, in a public place, is not reasonable
any more than telling people to "shut up" in a shopping mall is.
