The best berth for a visiting yacht is on the quay immediately NW of the slipway and the conspicuous white crane on the E side of the harbour.   There are a couple of small craft moorings here, but it is possible with care for 2-3 yachts to anchor and take a line to the quay. Be careful to approach the quay close in along the NW shore of the inlet to avoid the rocky shoal patch with just over a metre depths which lies around 75 metres SW of the quay. Depths at the quay itself are 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The holding is good in sand and weed (as long as you avoid the rocky patch!). Shelter in the harbour is good except with anything S in the wind.  Grscica is completely open SW.
