There are some lateral buoys that mark a channel with about 20m.  If you stay in this channel until you come to a kind of wooden platform (which has valves that control an underground gas pipeline) near a green buoy, keep the green buoy to port and the nearby north cardinal buoy to starboard and head for the anchorage/marina.
