Any good set of glasses has coated lenses. The coatings are what scratch, not the lens material. No matter what you wear I would be very careful about dipping them in the lake and wiping them off with a dirty shirt, it is just a bad practice that will lead to more damaged glasses.

Although tieing to a private dock is trespassing, which could be a ticketable offence and if ticketed could lead to a DQ. The odds are pretty slim though. It is common to anchor or tie up when fihing bed fish. In most circuits if your anchored and your TM is up you own 25 yards or so around your boat.
