Unofficially ... Moored



After months - literally - Months of back and forth, we are inches away from an official permit.
However, we have been kicked out of our squat of LYC moorings -usually limited to a couple of weeks - I think we kinda stuck there for a couple of .. months. 
Unnoticed.
Now they planned some work on the balls, and realized we were on it already.
It was time to move on.

Lahaina Divers are ... our divers

Then we kicked off the drop of our own mooring.
To do it "officially", and to a Category 4 metrics - i.e. Almost hurricane rated - we had to go double anchors and massive chain and rope.
It ain't cheap to be official.

The baptized "Traces" buoy

It ain't cheap. And it ain't fast. As we speak we are still waiting for an official stamp.
But at least we have our brand new gear in the water.
Let the hurricanes come in !
We are - almost- ready.


Settled for the night

It took most of the day to the divers to install everything on the bottom and clean the mess of the old block at the same spot.
But eventually, I was able to hook up.
Finally.
Our own mooring.
Feels almost like home.
