Actually, John will probably place you fairly close. A lot of the moorings further down are longtime people or private moorings. As far as sharing, I really can't give you any advice there other than to ask John or his wife for recommendations. They might be able to steer you in the right direction. Get a good chafe line and guard too. the current will take its toll on just a rope. You don't want that to be your weak point. Watch your river speed too as there's a strong presence of Harbormasters from both Scituate and Marshfield as well as the North River Patrol, Coast Guard, Env. Police, and CG Auxillary. Watch your tides and wind direction. The toughest is an outgoing tide with east wind and greatly compounded during and after storms. If you're navigating the mouth of the river and things get a bit dicey, do not try to turn around there. Continue making the run out. Things will calm down once you're away from the mouth of the river, then you can either come about and run back in, or scoot up to Scituate Harbor.
Keep bug spray handy for the windless days and evenings for when the No-See-Ums and green headed flies are out in the river. The sand spit down the end is a great place to beach and have fun with the family. It gets a bit crowded on weekends and holidays though. Great sightseeing though.
You'll enjoy it down there. Be safe, and there's good fishing in the area. Belsan's B&T is right around the corner. Good shop for all your bait and tackle needs. Maybe I'll see you down there this coming season.
