RE: The Kiel channel (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal)
Do you see many kayakers in the channel or is it mostly bigger boats that use it?
I'm not even sure it's legal to go through the channel with a kayak. The boat to the left here is the smallest thing I've seen in the channel:
I did wonder about that @tobixen. It looked like it might be a bit dangerous for little boats. My partner is a keen kayaker. That's why I asked? 😁
I think it should be pretty safe to go through the channel with a kayak - certainly much safer than to go around Denmark with a kayak :-)
The rule is that one should go by engine through the channel, I suppose that excludes kayaks. There is also rules that one is not supposed to stop anywhere, or take boats in and out of the water along the channel. I believe if I went through the channel in a Kayak, I would have stopped and enjoyed a break together with some of the biking tourists :-)
