The pontoon in outer basin has very little water alongside the first leg from the gangway/harbour wall. The rest has good depth. I grounded just off the pontoon at the gangway(draft 1.5m) looked over the side to see limestone boulders! Tidal range is only a couple of feet so if there is enough water...

instead!

BTW- there are a couple of big stones between existing moorings and pier, perhaps thats the one's their going to move.
