Otok Krk Warning or Danger Tips by KristaB

Narrow passage, pay attention to small boats and swimmers. Max. speed 4 knots.

Upon entering the bay, sail towards green tower, leave it on the starboard side, keep following green towers and proceed towards harbor/marina.
Island Kosljun (inside the bay) is safer to approach by leaving it to the port side, because the channel has some shallow areas.
When leaving the bay, green signals should be on your boats port side. YES THEY SHOULD!

" In the Republic of Croatia the International IALA A-system for denoting of sea-lanes is being used: Lateral combined with Cardinal.
Beacons in the Lateral System system denote the port (left) and starboard (right) sides of fairways and navigation channels, the port marks to be left to port, the starboard ones to starboard. Port and starboard are given according to the course that a vessel would sail INTO harbor, channel or river mouth from the open sea.
In the international system starboard side markers are conical; they have a conical top mark and are colored green. At night they show green lights.
Port side markers are cylindrical; the top mark is cylindrical and they are painted red. At night they show a red light."

North of islet Kosljun is safe anchorage even in stormy weather. Do not anchor close to shore, rather place two anchors in V position.
