Forgot to add.... there is a river that flows into the basin.....
Lots of ice flow........would the 2x4 be carried away?

Polyprop floating line .... about 20 feet. A piece of 2x4 about a foot
long
with a hole drilled through the center.
Run the rope through the 2x4 and tie it off... put the other end on the
chain for your mooring. Toss the works over and pick it up at low tide
next
year with a boat hook.

Works every time....
