It looks like the restoration of my little Swanson dart is coming to its final stages where it can now be placed in the water after a 10 month absence and a hacienda on the home made cradle. I now have to move her into the water but still have not been allocated a mooring in the Moolooah river at Mooloolaba. I lodged the application for a swing mooring in January. Around June I was third in line and checking late last month I was now 6th in line. Don't ask because I can't answer the question...Anyway... It looks like I will need to anchor her in the river as my modest budget doesn't allow for a berth at a marina or a private pontoon. Any suggestions in laying a sturdy anchor? The boat is lucky to weigh a ton fully wet. Also any suggestions on an easy to operate anchor light. I don't want to run wires up the internals of the mast and I really was hoping not to have the hassles of a battery and solar but looks like I have no choice. I am not a fan of having any electronics on the boat as I feel I don't really need anything for the type of sailing I will be doing.
