Dropping a Block and Living Off a Buoy
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.

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