Als ANFÄNGER im Tidenrevier mit Motorboot oder Segler: Teil 3 - Wellen, Wind, Fahrwasser

East Frisian Islands, mudflats, Elbe, Weser, Jade, and Ems: An exciting area full of challenges! I've learned a lot from this and would like to share my experience: How does navigation work in tidal waters and on mudflats? ** First part here:    • Am BEISPIEL ERKLÄRT: Motorboot und Segeln ...   ** ** Second part here:    • ERKLÄRT: Tidenrevier Nordsee, Elbe Motorbo...   ** In this third part, I'll explain specifically using the example of a long trip from Cuxhaven across the North Sea to Wangerooge: Will the sea state, wind, and weather be acceptable? Wave forecast and what does that mean in practice? How does the wind affect water levels? Do we have enough water in the inlet? Is there enough visibility to find the buoys in the inlet? Weather Forecast - and Reality Traffic Separation Schemes If you're planning to travel in the Elbe, North Sea, East Frisian or North Frisian Islands, Weser, Jade, or Ems and have no idea about navigating in tidal waters, check it out (but watch the first part first!:    • Am BEISPIEL ERKLÄRT: Motorboot und Segeln ...  )! ** My blog with travel stories, guides, tips and tricks for boats: https://booteblog.net ** Literature ======== Seamanship in the tidal waters*: https://amzn.to/4cjQgsU North Sea Guide 1*: https://amzn.to/4bSnAaG BSH Tide Calendar*: https://amzn.to/3xmvlXi Marked with *: Affiliate links More links =========== Unintentionally drydocked: https://booteblog.net/2018/04/22/unge...
