If you have to pay, you might as well get a slip. I’m speculating that’s why there is no interest in the moorings. Same thing as the moorings off Island White in Long Beach. Great idea to make money, but in practice it doesn’t work. I also speculate the harbor police were too lazy to administer the anchorage as an anchorage. I know the one time I anchored there, on my way down the coast, and in need of a break due to exhaustion, they didn’t seem too happy to see me. But, I admit, they did let me anchor.
