Bad news - marinas still closed

I'd been planning to set off w/b 12th April, when staying away from home overnight is allowed.
On enquiring about availability of visitor berths at Brighton or Eastbourne in April, I'm told they aren't opening until 17th May. Not obvious to me that the government restrictions keep them closed but that's how they're interpreting it.
Problem is that the south-east coast of England has precious few anchorages. I can't have crew aboard, so can only day sail. If the ports remain closed, that will delay departure.
D**n!
