Camp Nafi

Hello...

My friend and I dropped a home made mooring off 'Camp Nafi' this summer - concrete and encased lead and rebar - worked great - lead to offset the bouyancy of concrete - encased to satisfy the enviros' - made a 'beach loop' thru blocks to haul the Donzi up to the beach and then off the rocks for the night...

As for weight - well we went 'redneck' - as heavy as the two of us could lift over the bulwarks without flipping the boat...

Up here in Alaska, we use those things that they make highway dividers out of... "Ecology Blocks" 2500 Lbs Concrete & ReBar. When you go to place, you just balance it across the bow of your boat and idle down to the place on a calm day. When it is right just flip it off the bow and be prepared to get a bit wet. Stainless Shackle and 7/8" Poly Line to a Crab Buoy, with a small trailer float. Concrete Block costs $50US at any Concrete Batch Plant in the country. That is what the do with batch Tailings, Make Ecology Blocks.... Costs more to ship them in, than to buy them....
