Dropping a Block and Living Off a Buoy

[lowride14]

So what do I need to know about making and dropping a block and making a buoy.

I plan to do this in the Victoria BC area, what are the regulations surrounding this?

How do I know where and where I cannot anchor permanently?

Some places are a tad touchy about such things. Setting permanent mooring buoys may be one of them.

Victoria's Harbour Authority: Greater Victoria Harbour Authority

Check with them first.

Isn't allowed most places in the harbor.
You might look at Cadboro Bay, just around the corner (to the East).

these look good
Brentwood bay?
oak bay?
