castles in the cove of Veriga, the emains of a Temple of Venus and of a 6 C
basilica. From the Middle Age there is a Byzantine campsite, the three-nave
basilica of a Benedictine monastery. Venetians made extensive use of the tone
quarries on the islet of Jerolim and built fortifications in several places.
During malaria epidemics in the 17 C the islands were almost deserted but at the
end of the 19 C antimalaria precautions began to be taken (Robert Koch), hotels
were built and planting began of Mediterranean and exotic vegetation. Piped
water was brought from the mainland and Brijuni became an international leisure
centre. The mild climate fosters the growth of Mediterranean plants in natural
parks. On Veli Brijun there is zoo with many kinds of animals. |

dangerous and form waves in the harbour. Yachts can moor beside the pier
and on the east side of the quay. The pier is reserved for coastal and
excursion boats; in the summer season it is used by customs
authorities. Yachts and smaller vessels are advised to moor in the
marina (north part of harbour). There is good anchorage in the centre
of the harbour (depth 3-5 m). Larger yachts are advised to anchor about
0.6 M west of the Umag belfry (depth 18 m). At night they should anchor
2 M
west of the harbour (depth 27 m). This anchorage provides shelter from
the bora but at first signs of a S or SW wind yachts should weigh and

There are four
approaches to the harbour; the safest being the channel between Barbaran
cliff and the head of the north breakwater on Sveti Nikola islet. At
night this channel is in the white sector (62° to 153°) of the light
on Barbaran. The
harbour is protected from NE and to some extent from SW and NW. Winds
from S and NW create high waves. The sirocco here is more frequent than
the bora wich blows very strongly, especially in autumn. In summer
during the sirocco SW squalls may be experienced and these cause high
waves in the harbour. Strong sea currents may make maneuvring difficult
in the harbour. Yachts drawing up to 5 m can moor at the quay in front of
the Rivijera Hotel and those drawing up to 4 m at the pier which also
serves coastal and excursion boats and for customs. There is anchorage
in the middle of the harbour but it is not recommended as there is no
good holding bottom. If strong SW or W winds blow the best anchorage is
below the NE shore of Sveti Nikola islet.

Paski zaljev is entered through Paska vrata passage (between Kristofor and Sv

Caska and the harbour of Pag. The bora in the bay is strong and most frequent in Paska vrata passage and
Slana cove; in the NW part of the bay it blows from the E and in SE part from

difficult to enter the bay. With the sirocco blowing the sea sometimes floods
the coast around the salt-works. Currents caused by the tides attain a rate of 4
knots; their direction is changeable.
The harbour is protected from all winds except the
westerlies, which blow infrequently. Yachts drawing up to 3.5m can moor

herald W and NW winds, accompanied by rough sea and strong slop in the
harbour. On the coast from Preluk to Bakarski zaljev are several small sports harbours
(Kantrida, Treci maj, Jeleticevo, Grcevo) but they are crowded during the summer
season and it is difficult to find a good berth.
Rijeka port is open to international sailing and is a permanent port of entry

terminals, airport (on the island of Krk) and airfield for sports planes (on

6 m can berth in the Brsica cove and
smaller ones in Trget harbour. In this harbour its is best to anchor (four-point

bay
about 6.5 miles ESE of Rijeka |
It is very deep and the shores
are steep and rocky. It offers no problems to navigation. The little town and
port of Bakar lies the NW part of the bay and to the SE the village of Bakarac. The sirocco blows across the
whole bay but neither it nor the bora form much swell. The bora blows frequently
and very fiercely and in the SE part of the bay it changes direction. When the
bora is strong it is advisible to sail as near as possible to the N shore of the
bay.The entrance is through Bakarska vrata. Care should be taken to avoid the
shallows around Ostro point (isobath of 5 m extends as much as 80 m from the shore
of the point). Bakarska vrata has the following light marks: to the W Babno
point (red flashing) and Srednji point (white flashing); to the E there are
buoys in front of Ostro point (green flashing) and Kavranic point (white flashing).
Yachts can berth in the small harbours of Bakar and Bakarac.
Strict regulations are in force for berthing in the industrial harbour. |
