I think like everything there are ways to move off early and ways not to!
The ones who start the engine 30 minutes before they're ready to depart,
bang around, shout fromend to end of the boat and finally roar off are beign
antisocial. The ones who do everthing quietly, are ready to go before
starting up, and then potter steadily up the cut until they're clear are
fine.
We've made early starts often enough and doubt we ever disturbed anyone to
any extent. I seem to recall on occasions we didn't actually start the
engine until the boat was untied and mid-cut but then genuine marine Listers
(!) are good starters!
