When returning from South to North a couple of weeks ago we decided to make for Marina Quays to raise the mast and stop for a coffee, partly because the water was so low at the yacht station and partly because there was still some of the ebb flowing. I began to have second thoughts as we approached as the moorings looked so derelict, the mooring posts were in such shocking condition and also the water looked very shallow. We approached very cautiously where the water looked a bit deeper (towards the upriver end) but we touched bottom 2 or 3 feet from the bank and hurriedly aborted. Thankfully we were going very slowly so it wasn't a problem. Returned to mid-stream and raised mast/hoisted sails there and sailed up against the last of the ebb - there was plenty of wind so it wasn't too tough. But I would not plan on stopping there again except in an emergency.
