A M60 on a tripod, several cases of beer, a ghettoblaster and enough music tapes.

Then party like it's the apocalypse!

The fact that zombies can't swim leads to a dangerous sense of safety on the water. As Brooks pointed out in his Zombie Survival Guide, they are able to walk under water. No air in the body = specific gravity less than water. Also the speed of decompostion is much slower than abvove water, they can literally walk for years. So as soon as you set anchor, a zombie walking in the riverbed could grab the chain and climb onto your boat.
Same goes for your supply point idea on a bank. If you don't also put up defensive parameters towards the river, you are in danger.

Stay safe!
