A mooring system provides an anchor, imbedded in a sea floor from which arises a line to a mid-line float resisting entanglement by operation of a “worm grip” providing a tortuous path without exceeding permissible working loads nor reducing the tension capacity of the line. A slack region accommodates changing tides, before entering into an upright tube weighted at a lower end and flanged at an upper end thereof to secure a buoy in place. The embedded anchor is driven into the sea bed by hydraulic water jet drilling. From a thimble in the anchor to a thimble in the upright at the buoy, no intervening metal components are needed in the load path. Markings are durably and protectively embedded in recesses below the buoy's outer surface.
