Update<\/h2>\r\nObviously, some skippers didn't read the SeaHelp article about the danger of lines in the propeller, or were just unlucky: On Saturday, another SeaHelp boat had to go out to cut a line from the propeller of a yacht. This shows once again how topical the topics described by SeaHelp are.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp This line got almost \"perfectly\" caught in the propeller.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp SeaHelp employee goes underground: Here he can still cut the propeller free without any diving gear.[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\"SeaHelp As so often: The buoy was still hanging on the line.

Currently the bridge is closed in the morning, so that skippers who want to go south will have to take a detour of more than 13 nautical miles.\r\n

Bascule bridge near Tisno remains closed in the morning<\/h2>\r\nTo explain the situation:<\/strong> The island of Murter lies in the northwestern part of the Sibenik archipelago and is separated from the mainland by the Tisno Channel. A 37-metre-long bascule bridge near Tisno connects Murter with the mainland. The island is very popular with water sports enthusiasts, as there are many interesting bays in the southern area, some of which have sandy beaches. Due to the fact that the bridge only opens in the evening, day trips to this region are only possible with a detour of 13.5 nautical miles, as the bridge currently only opens in the evening.\r\n\r\n ATTENTION:<\/strong> The times currently given in the Internet<\/a> do not correspond to reality and mislead skippers.\r\n\r\nIt says here (as at 26.07.2020):\r\n
Bridge lifting timetable:\r\n1 May \u2013 1 October \u2013 every day: 9 am - 9.30 am, and 5 pm - 5.30 pm\r\n1 October \u2013 1 May \u2013 Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 9 am \u2013 9.30 am<\/blockquote>\r\n

Water sports enthusiasts the most loyal tourists<\/h2>\r\nIn our opinion, an owner and SeaHelp member was right to complain about this rather unfriendly behaviour of the administration towards the water sports enthusiasts. The competent Croatian authority, which ordered the morning opening of the bridge on the island of Murter to be cancelled without replacement, has probably forgotten one thing: Water sports enthusiasts, especially boat and yacht owners and sailors are among the most loyal tourists in Croatia, and even in the times of the Corona pandemic they were the first to return to Croatia as tourists. Statistics, which are also available to the Croatian National Tourist Board, support the assumption that boat owners in particular stay much longer in Croatia than many other tourists and support the Croatian economy with significantly higher spending per person per day.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n"); jQuery.each(this.attributes, function () { if (this.name == 'data-iframe' || this.name == 'data-') return; iframe.attr(this.name.replace(/^data-/, ''), this.value); }); jQuery(iframe).insertAfter(jQuery(this)); jQuery(this).remove(); }); AI_responsive_widget(); }, 50); }); jQuery(window).resize(function () { AI_responsive_widget(); }); }
