The measure of closing all harbours in Schleswig-Holstein is prolonged until 24-4 (notice to mariners 85/20 27-3-2020). This includes Helgoland and the west-coast between Brunsbuttel and the Danish border. The measures making it impossible to use the Kiel canal for transit.

Hello, I am looking for a wintering out of the water for my sailboat (Feeling 1090) in the Kiel area. Any good feedback will be appreciated.
Regards,
Gérard
Hi Gerard, we had a similar enquiry last year and the cruiser in question sent the following feedback:
We left the boat in Greifswald, a small, quaint and old Hanse town south of the island Rügen.
Situated there is the Hanse Yachts Wharf that offers full-service winter storage at a competitive price (some 20% less than most of the marinas we contacted in the area). The place is very protected weather-wise, as the town itself and the wharf are situated some 3-4 km inland, along a narrow river.
Access point is Greifswald Wieck, where the old bridge opens every hour at the hour (from 9 am to 8 pm, if memory serves) to allow boats and ships to pass.
Hanse Yacht Werf itself offers a full spectrum of services, from winter storage (as in our case, we will not be present when our boat will be lifted up), rigging services, sail makers, motor service and repairs, hull repair, painting etc and a well equipped marine store. A big yacht rental company operates in the compound, and all normal marina services are provided (toilets, showers, laundry, electricity, water etc).
There is quite a lot of talk about the water depth on entrances between the islands called seegats. The sandbanks are moving and the channels may be silted with reduced depths.
We found the German Wattenschipper service (http://www.wattenschipper.de/Aktuelles.htm) extremely useful. They provide LW water depth soundings on all seegats together with tips on entrance channel usage.
