Mooloolaba phone call from Waterways.
I recieved a call (call withheld number)from the waterways asking if I'm the owner of "Little lady" My Swanson Dart 22. I said yes...has something happened?(fearing the worst) I was asked is she on a mooring or anchored?
I replied It's a make shift mooring. 110 Kg tractor weight which I can easily pull up and remove once my mooring allocation has been consented. He replied You must anchor your boat.Non registered moorings are not allowed.
I replied well its not a fixed mooring which in my opinion shouldn't be an issue. I would rather that than an anchor.
Bottom line ... this was an argument I wasn't going to win. Lay anchor or cop a $260.00 fine. End of story.
Most disappointed. Not sure what to do. I really don't trust anchors. "Little lady" is lucky to weigh 800kgs if that.
Any suggestions?
