There was a pilot magazine piece which showed how they cleared a path through the Thames debris to allow Keith Sissons to use that C180 for the movie scenes in the picture I posted. The debris would be a factor for sure. Waves, boat wakes, salt, traffic, tides etc can be managed with experience. I've been in a few towns on the Shannon system, and I know guys who have been in Dublin port, limerick, Galway, Cobh etc etc. It can be done but it needs lots of things to go your way. Things never go according to plan all of time, especially in a seaplane....
