Dutch windfarm

[Gryphon2]

There is a large windfarm nw of the passage into Vlissingen. It appears there is a route through it approaching from the nw. Can anyone confirm this is a permitted route? I know there are hefty fines for straying into them. Thanks in advance.

Further research has answered my own question. It is called the Borssele Windfarm Pass. Looks a bit narrow but definitely legal.

Has been shown on the charts for southern North Sea for several years now, along with latest shipping lanes.
Try & keep up, Paper charts are not that expensive

Last time.e I went there was over 30 years ago...no wind turbines, no AIS , no GPS. Since then they have industrialised the N Sea.

Same for me in 1972. But I still had an up to date chart. Got lost though

We went through it a couple of weeks ago.

The barstewards have added about 10 miles to the crossing with all these windfarms

It’s a shame you can’t plug in to top up your batteries etc.

Probably need about 10 windmills to do that.
