- A severe thunderstorm front (Nevera) drove several pleasure craft ashore at Unije in Potkujni Bay during the night of 19 July 2026.
- According to the Ministry, several dozen pleasure craft were washed ashore in the Unije, Susak and Lošinj areas, in some cases amid gusts of up to 60 knots (around 111 km/h).

- When it comes to boat fishing, it’s experience, concentration, intuition and enjoyment that count, rather than gender roles or physical strength.  
- More and more women are steering boats independently, operating fish finders and bow thrusters, transporting boats on trailers and mastering the art of playing fish on the water.  
- Boat fishing is a gender-neutral outdoor experience combining exploring fishing grounds, technical skills, freedom, competitions and quiet moments on the lake.

Boat fishing: Why more and more women are taking up fishing

- The former GDR demagnetisation plant at Ostervilm was purchased for 60,000 euros; the refurbishment is expected to cost around 1.5 million euros.

- To finance the project, a co-operative with 999 shares is being set up; ideas for its use range from YouTube projects to jetties for pleasure boats.

- The DSV is calling on sailors to take part in an expanded anti-fouling survey in order to ensure that the needs of recreational boating are reflected in regulations.  
- The results of the ten-minute survey, comprising 26 questions, will be incorporated into the Biofouling Management Conference on 1–2 October 2026 on Norderney.  
- The UBA Fouling Atlas and the BSH e-learning course with video provide in-depth information on antifouling, biofouling, invasive species, environmental impact and cleaning methods.

- During Kiel Week, a submarine passed slowly by waiting ILCA yachts, remained manoeuvrable, and there were no complaints or incidents.  
- Commanders emphasise the safety principle: a submerged submarine must always give way, maintain situational awareness and avoid risky approaches by recreational craft.  
- It is recommended to maintain a safe distance from the bow and the periscope; submarines operate primarily in the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic, and naval officers are also trained on sailing boats.

- Charlie Abbing developed a passion for predator fishing following her first trips with Silvian Muizelaar and went on to found Charlie’s Fishing with him.

- Through their shop and social media, they share their experiences, build a community and emphasise that fishing begins with enthusiasm rather than perfect equipment.

- They have travelled on the ‘Fortuna’ to destinations including Spain, Portugal, Morocco, the Balearic Islands, Greece, the Adriatic, the Canary Islands and the Douro.
