Q: How close to the centre of the Creek may I moor my vessel?
A: The Queen's Harbour Master requires that we maintain a 15m wide navigation channel, clear of all moorings and vessels. While the Berthing master will issue a position for a mooring it is the responsibility of the mooring holder to set and adjust his moorings so that all anchors, chains, and all parts of the vessel when moored remain, at all states of tide and in all wind conditions more than 7.5 m from the centre of the channel. Over much of the length of the creek the profile is "U" shaped and in these places the centre of the channel is easily defined as the deepest water.
