The mooing buoy can be rented - see notice board at point cruz club. Anchoring stern up to the sea wall is it seems harder than it used to be, as this space is currently taken up by local charter boats who it seems have moorings off the seawall. There is also a new big dock in the middle that has recently been constructed and takes up a fair amount of space.
