Germany has extended her territorial waters thus putting all TSS inside national area and passed local legislation making it an offence to go within 1 nm of a TSS unless crossing it. It has been looked at closely & found legal. Infringers have already been fined! So mark a 1 nm exclusion zone around these TSS! Ted Osborn, 22/5/99

Rugen Area. All probably better bouyed than Barry's earlier visits. Now very clear and in main channels at least large marks used. West German style. You need Karten fur die Sportschiffahrt 3006 updated Aug 99 or later. For Rugen 3008 for Saaler Bodden & Rostock to cover the whole area. If entering the area from Kiel and the west the Libben channel is no problem with a least depth of 2.5m However the Gellenstrom and Barhofter Rinne in theory carrying better depths of 4.5 m are liable to silting and you should call Stralsund traffic on VHF ch 67 for latest info.
NEUENDORF On Hiddensee Chartlet (Blatt)14 plan C. gives a good picture. 54-31.45 N 13-05.75E Newly restored and repiled. good mooring rings from two piled slots 30-40 in number . Depth in Marina area 2.2-2.4 m but deeper in fishing harbour . Dredged channel into port 2.5m so that is the practical max draft. Water showers and Electricity available . Basic foodstuff from Harbourmasters shop but little else at the moment.Things are changing fast however as they are everywhere in the area as west German and EC cash is used to rebuild the old East . Dues 15 DM for the 30 ft Athene. Showers 2DM but only one each sex.
STRALSUND The Northen harbour near the old town is now pontooned and clearly marked for visitors 9m upwards by line to 15m. Water and electricty was available but not at all berths. Easy walk to Cathedral and walled town all being rebuilt. A must if you are in the area . Bridge currently opens 0230-0250;0520-0540;0720-0740;1120-1140;1750-1810;2130-2150; but changes so use ch 67 to check. Diesel Fuel from shell barge near Klapp-Brk. before Bridge if coming from West. 40 litres for 60 dm 1999
GLEWITZER WIEK Anchorage Ent red Bouy 54-15.3N 13-16.8 E (Blatt9) Good holding ground despite weed shown on chart . in 2.2 m east of nature reserve just off channel up to Puddemin dredged to 2.5 m LAUTERBACH Newmarina nad clubhouse being built NE of old harbour 54-20.6N 13-30.5 E (blatt6) Harbour has 5m not sure about marina. Good supermarket and food at Hotel nearby. Rail station
HAVEN VON GAGER Red ent bouy 54-17.8N 13-38.39 E (blatt 7) dredged to 4m Good protection all round. Six New pile berths at SE corner. No one around to collect dues when we arrived and they had not appeared by our 0430 start time so cannot give fees . Once again great building work all round so imagine water, fuel and stores will soon be available if not already
OVERALL COMMENT sadly will soon be up to Solent standards so get there quickly. Keep to marked channels unless you are prepared to mix in with fishing stakes . The main lines are shown on the 3006 chartlets. Robin Guileret on board Athene 3/6-6/6/99
