You'll also need to pay attention to forecasted conditions for overnight. I would not set a stern anchor or tie off if the forecast calls for the winds to pick up. If they do, you want the boat to swing as that will allow your bow to go into the wind. This will reduce stress on the anchor and minimize dragging it. If you tie off and the wind is allowed to broadside you, your stern or bow anchor might drag. A depth alarm might help but it won't tell you that you're heading into another boat.

I have used this methodology for many years and I have only been caught once where the wind direction changed in the middle of the night and being able to drop my stern line almost instantly meant I could get out of trouble real fast.
