Narva (Narva-Jöesuu) Harbour map Fiske- och passagerarhamn 18 km från Narva. Narva är gränsstad mot Ryssland och ligger en bit upp i floden. Narva-Jõesuu är klareringshamn. Det lilla samhället nära floden Narvas mynning har en lång och vacker sandstrand, och en historia som badort.				Angöringen till floden måste göras med försiktighet. Grunda sandbankar finns utanför flodmynningen. Följ enslinjerna i sjökortet! Starka vindar kan ändra djupet i farleden. Narva-Jõesuu har en fiskehamn och en båtklubb. Floden uppströms är bitvis mycket ström, och det är därför inte möjligt att för segel ta sig upp till Narva eller till sjön Peipus. Istället tar man buss eller taxi. Hamnen ligger på Narva-flodens västra sida. Floden utgör gräns till Ryssland. På den ryska sidan av floden finns ingen hamn.

(+372 46) 91469 Fax (+372 46) 91469	Heltermaa was first mentioned as a rural location in 1620. The inn here was primarily patronized by people travelling over the sea when the strait separating the island from the mainland was frozen over and people, goods and mail were transported by horse via ice roads. The harbour was built in the second half of the last century. Now, 200 000 people pass through it annually. 6 km away in Pühalepa is Hiiumaa's oldest, St. Lawrence's Church.Construction is believed to have begun in the 13th Century.

During the long period of occupation, the harbour lost its importance due to the choking off of local traffic. Thanks to the restoration of independence, Triigi is on the road to renewal. Thanks to the reconstruction completed in 1994, Triigi harbour is among the best harbours of Saaremaa. In summer the harbour of Triigi is responsible for maintaining a regular ferry link with Hiiumaa. Unspoiled forests, tranquilty, and helpful people. Angla windmills 8 km. Karja church, the most famous church in Saaremaa architecturally and sculpturally 10 km.
Veere More information on Veere at ELLENnet Harbour map At NW Saaremaa you find a deep sea bay, the Bay of Tagalaht. Down in the SW corner you find the port Veere. It is not so much more than a port. There is no village ashore and the attractions of the place consists mostly of forests.				Despite these facts, you can have god reasons to pay Veere a Visit: Veere is one of few Estonian ports that can be approached in darkness Veere is a port of entry, and an alternative if you want to approach or leave Estonia through the narrow strait between Hiiumaa and Saaremaa, "Soela Väin". If you don't visit Veere the first port of entry in Estonia will be Hapsal at the mainland. From Veere it is not far to Kuressaare, the principal town of Saaremaa.
Orissaare Harbour map At Orissaare you find Estonia's, perhaps nicest yacht club! The shallow gulf makes the water very pleasant for swimmers. At the final approach we had to look out for the numerous swimmers in the water! At the yacht club was a little club house situated. It had a good restaurant, sauna and clean toilets. The staff were very nice and helpful. There are no big factories in the neighbourhood. The water is clean. Despite a water temperature far over 20°C we did not see and "algae bloom". At the NW side of Muhu is the little village Koguva. It has an outdoor museum with old houses with straw roofs. There can be difficulties in finding the museum. Many houses in the village look just like the one in the museum! Outside the village there is a nice restaurant and hotel. The owners were of Swedish origin. The buildings and the rooms were newly repaired in a very nice "old style". Orissaare is the second largest "town" on Saaremaa. It is situated at the western side of the narrow strait between Saaremaa and Muhu islands. It is not possible to sail through the strait. Orissaare must be approached from north. You approach Orissaare from NW following a very long leading line. Then you come closer to the town you find a Landfall buoy and range target markers. From longer distance you have to follow the leading line despite the marking is not so visible. It is a very special experience to approach Orissaare. The waters are indeed very shallow, and the water level can shift much In summer -97 we learned that the water level in july was 70 cm under the normal. For hours we sailed in the leading line. Banks of sea grass was visible at the surface, and we kept close outlook for shoals. We stayed in the leading line, and everything went well! We have passed through shallow waters before, but to sail in water with a depth under 3 m for hours is a different thing. The shifting water level makes it difficult to say something about the navigable depth in the fareway. Normal yachts can pass here, but keep sharp outlook!				Orissaare town and island Muhu Barn at the outdoor museum There is not so much to say about the little town itself. You find banks, some shops and cafes. The communications to other parts of Saaremaa are excellent. Orissaare is also a good base for excursions to the island Muhu east of Saaremaa. We borrowed some bikes (a dangerous voyage then one of the bikes literally fell apart..). At island Muhu we found a windmill still in work. It is situated close to the road bank connecting Muhu with Saaremaa. Outside the village we found a nice restaurant and hotel. The owners were of Swedish origin. The buildings and the rooms were newly repaired in a very nice "old style".
Kuivastu Harbour map Ferry line harbour. Vessels can enter the harbour by a lighted lane. Exposed to E, SE, and S winds. Visitor jetty equipped for 1 yacht. Depth 5 m. Mooring buoys.

Kuivastu is responsible for maintaining a connection between the islands of Saaremaa and Muhu and the mainland. In the seaward chamber of Kuivastu´s old pub house, poet and songsmith of the sea and islands Villem Grünthal-Ridala was born in 1885 (d 1942, Helsinki). The recently renovated Muhu church (10 km), was probably built in the late 13th Century. The open-air museum (105 buildings preserved) at Koguva village (18 km) is unique since the museum is actually a living village.
Virtsu Harbour map				Between Saaremaa/Muhu and the mainland goes a ferry between Virtsu in the east to Kuivastu in the west. None of the ports are nice for sailors, but a stop in the Muhu strait (Estonian: Muhu Väin) could be a good choice if you want to avoid too long legs on your voyage. If you approach from the the Bay of Riga, navigation is simple and both ports can be approached at night. In Virtsu you don't find very much at all. Behind the ferries you find some metal bridges for yachts and a possibility to recharge your batteries. Some minutes walk from the port you find the ferry terminal with toilet, shower and cafe. The port have no charm at all, but is is safe, protected from most winds and easy to approach. A good place to sleep The alternative on the west side of the strait, Kuivastu had 96-97 no bridges for yachts. Otherwise Kuivastu have some advantages, but for the moment Kuivastu is a good choice only for the sailor who likes to climb on tractor wheels to come ashore. The nearest "nice" harbour in north is Haapsalu, in NW Orissaare on the "back side" of island Muhu, and Island Kihnu in the south. All of them are situated at long distance from Muhu strait and none of them can be approached in darkness.

From 1559, Kuressaare was under the rule of Hertsog Magnus, the brother of the Danish king Frederik II, who brought the village into a town (1563). Under Magnus and the Danes the town developed into an important trade center. Prosperity lasted through the "golden" Swedish age until Saaremaa was overrun by Russia in 1710. Kuressaare became a resort town with the establishment of mud baths in 1840. At present 16,000 people live in Saaremaa's administrative center.

The forests in Kihnu have the appearance of a park, because the underbrush is collected and used for fuel. Abundant mushrooms but few berries. The Kihnu potato has been praised for its taste. This is the only island in Estonia where the integrity of the culture of the native inhabitants has been retained. For local women, attractive folk costumes serve as everyday clothes. A living museum

No visitor jetty. Mooring to hull. Exposed to E and NE winds. County seat Kuressaare 45 km.				Mõntu harbour was founded during World War I as a transport harbour for the fort erected on Sõrve peninsula. Prior to the last war, Sõrve was a densely inhabited, vigorous region. The population was evacuated to Germany just before the heavy battles of 1944 broke out. Administrative problems accompanying the new independence of Estonia led to the creation of an unofficial Monarchy of Torgu.
Ruhnu Harbour map The shallow harbour of Ruhnu is dominated by a sunken dredger Sailing over Riga Bay to Runö is pure and simple sea-sailing. However, the waters close to the island, are shallow. You enter the harbour from SSE. The harbour need reconstruction and are open for winds from S and SE, N and NE. It is very difficult to find enough water depth in the harbour, except at the point of the very damaged southern pier. With winds from the wrong direction, the see very fast comes running with large waves. Before entering the harbour you should call "Ruhnu border control" at the VHF for instructions. The depths in the harbour chart are not reliable. In reality you find sand banks in the middle of the inlet. Vessels with to large draught could anchor outside the harbour inlet during W ore NW winds. It is not the easiest thing to go to Ruhnu, but it's fascinating history and isolated location, makes the effort well worth a try. But you have to have luck with the weather. The ideal is weak wind from NW or W. It have been plans on a harbour restoration, but the money is lacking and nothing is decided.
