Years ago there was a little, sort of unofficial, marina started up at Langkawi, Malaysia. As the "marina" was on the west side of the island and pretty well open to the west the blokes that started it cast up some 1 meter cubes of concrete with a big metal ring on the top. Considerable effort was expended to cast these things and get them all arranged in the anchorage. At Last! Typhoon proof moorings! However, as soon as the first guy drug up his anchor and paid the tariff to moor to one of these titanic blocks the problems started. It turned out that the one meter moorings were set in about 4 meters of water.... in an area with 2.5 meter tides. As most of the ocean going cruising boats draw at least 6 feet there was a bit an interference when the tide went out. The solution was to hire a big water pump and spend a couple of weeks jetting the blocks deeper into the mud, and of course that costs money... so they raised the price to moor which caused an immediate exodus.
