The approach to the main harbour is fairly simple. The leading lights shown on most charts are present as are the entrance buoys.
Approaching the inner harbour is done by navigating between a closely set pair of red/green buoys -- you will need to make a right angle turn to starboard as you approach them. After passing between the buoys keep a close eye on depth but there should be sufficient depth to carry a straight line from there to the area around the moorings.
