-	Losinj Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], immediately W of the island of [[Cres]], to which it was once joined and from which it is now separated by the narrow canal at the town of [[Osor]] in Cres. Five miles to the W are the small islands of [[Unije]] and [[Susak]] and just over a mile SSE is the equally small island of [[Ilovik]]. Losinj is a popular tourist destination, especially in July and August, when hordes of Italian holidaymakers flock to the island using the regular ferry service from [[Venice]]. The island’s principal town, [[Mali Losinj]], is also the main port of entry in this part of Croatia and is thus a much-frequented port of call by yachts crossing from the Italian coast between [[Ancona]] and Venice.

	Krk Island lies in the bay of Rijeka in [[Croatia]], between the mainland to the east and the long island of [[Cres]] to the west, from which it is separated by a three mile wide strait. Its northern extremity is connected to the mainland by a road bridge with a clearance of 45 metres, which carries busy traffic between the city of Rijeka and its international airport at the NE end of the island. Croatia’s largest island, it is also one of the most popular with tourists, especially from Austria, Germany and Slovenia, attracted by its good transport connections. The N and NW coasts of the island are mostly steep-to and rocky with few settlements, but the S and SW parts experience a milder climate, with more forestry and agriculture and the main settlements of [[Krk Town]], [[Punat]] and [[Baska]]. The island’s main harbour of Krk Town has moorings for visiting yachts and good shelter in all but strong southerlies, while the inlet of Punat two miles E contains an 800-berth marina, [[Marina Punat]], which is very popular with over-wintering yachts. Several smaller harbours and anchorages around the coasts of the island can be visited in suitable conditions, but few have any facilities for yachts. The island’s main attractions include the 13th - 16th century Krk Cathedral and Venetian castle, both in Krk Town, and the lovely mediaeval village of Vrbnik on the E coast, famous for its delicious ''zlahtina'' white wine. The resort of Baska on the S coast is popular with hikers, attracted by its mountain trails, while the inlet of Punat contains a picturesque 16th century Franciscan monastery on a small island in the centre of the inlet.

An online cruising guide for yachts sailing in the area of Camden Haven, NSW.
====Overview====
Camden Haven is a delightful stopping point on the north coast of NSW.

There is a bar at the entrance, though this is relatively deep.

The small town of Laurieton offers a wide range of services and is probably the most welcoming of towns on the NSW coast for cruising sailors.

''Also see [[World MM Nets|World Cruiser's Nets]]''.

==Approach and Navigation==
The barred entrance should be treated with respect. Normal bar rules apply - try to cross in the last few hours of the flood tide and forget it if a big swell is breaking onshore.
There is a clear set of leads (lit for night entrance) defining the track across the bar and these should be followed until almost level with the training walls, at which point you should switch to the middle of the channel. The channel is well marked with port and starboard bouys (all lit) defining the channel until you reach Laurieton. Keep closely to the channel as it is surrounded by drying mud banks. Note that there is a strong tidal current and beware of this sweeping you off track. There is an area of moored boats very close to the edge of the channel at Dunbogan and you should beware of these if using the channel after dark as none are lit.
Shortly after you pass the area of the United Services Club at Laurieton, the channel is crossed by a road bridge which prevents further navigation.

==Berthing Options==
The Laurieton United Services Club (LUSC) very generously provides a jetty for the use of visiting boats. Tie up alongside the jetty (if there is room) and register at the Club. For a deposit of $50 (which will be refunded), you can obtain a key to a shower and toilet that is provided for visiting boats.
Note that the jetty simply has piles and you will need fender boards to go alongside. There is also a dingy pontoon if you elect to anchor out. The tide range is relatively small, generally less than a metre, so lying alongside presents few problems. Allow for wake from inconsiderate powerboats.

===Marinas & Yacht Clubs===

* There is a small marina close by the bridge at Laurieton, though it appears full.

===Anchorages===
* Anchor off the United Services Club on the far side of the channel. Keep well clear of the channel as it is frequently used by fishing boats and runabouts, but beware of the mud bank which extends out from the SE shore opposite the Marine Rescue building.
* Anchor near the moored boats at Dunbogan.

==Yacht Repairs and Services==

There is a slipway near the marina

====Marine Stores====

* There is a hardware store in Laurieton
* There is a small boating goods store in Dunbogan

====Repairs/Yards====

: Water is available at the LUSC jetty.
; Electricity
: There is no power on the LUSC jetty.

==Things to do Ashore==
====Tourism====

* Climb North Brother (the hill immediately behind Laurieton) for stunning views of the local area. You can also see the bar from the street near the beginning of the track - handy for deciding if you can leave.
* The Laurieton Plaza Theatre is excellent and good value

====Grocery & Supply Stores====
* Coles supermarket is a 5 minute walk from the LUSC jetty.
* Woolworths supermarket is a short bus ride.
* There are several bakeries in Laurieton and a Fruit and Vegetable store.
====Eateries====
* Laurieton United Services Club - if you use the jetty, you should use the club for meals and drinks.

-	The harbour authorities, the Circomare Otranto, can be contacted on VHF channel 16. On the SW side of the harbour are a series of five pontoons providing a total of 390 berths, of which 10 are allocated to yachts in transit. Visiting yachts usually berth on the end of the easternmost pontoon where directed. Maximum length on the pontoons 20 metres. Depths at the pontoons range from 2.0 metres inshore to 6.5 metres at the outer end. Laid moorings at all berths. Water on the pontoons. Toilets. Internet point. Shelter is good here in most conditions, especially with the recent extension of the breakwater, although strong NE winds send in a swell, which is more troublesome than dangerous. If the pontoons are full, it is usually possible to anchor moor back to the quay at the root of the breakwater.	+	The harbour authorities, the Circomare Otranto, can be contacted on VHF channel 16.

-	The small village of Skradin lies on the Krka river on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], eight miles upriver from the city of [[Sibenik]]. Access to the river is via a five mile long inlet entered through a narrow strait, the Kanal Sv. Ante, situated five miles SE of [[Vodice]] and 11 miles NNW of [[Primosten]]. The village is renowned for its remarkable waterfalls, the Skradinski Buk, the most spectacular of three sets of falls on the Krka River. Skradin is accessible by all but the deepest-draft yachts, with depths in the channel of around 7.0 metres. On arrival at the village a yacht has the option of berthing in the ACI-operated [[Marina Skradin]] or anchoring in the coves on the opposite, S side of the river, while visiting the falls (but not overnight).	+	The small village of Skradin lies on the Krka river on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], eight miles upriver from the city of [[Sibenik]].

-	Visiting yachts have several options for berthing in Split. It is possible to go alongside or stern/bows to the quay of the main harbour in the vicinity of the Palace of Diocletian or the similar quay SE of the harbour office if there is space. Depths here are, however, only 3.0 metres and any swell makes the position very uncomfortable. The quays are also very noisy with constant traffic and general city clamour. Shelter on the quays is poor in any southerly winds and probably untenable in strong to gale force winds. Anchoring in the NW part of the main harbour, which used to be an option, is no longer allowed. Finally, a visiting yacht can seek a berth in one of the marinas, [[Marina Split]] on the W side of the main harbour, [[Marina Zenta]] a mile E or [[Marina Spinut]] and [[Marina Poljud]] on the N side of the peninsula on which the city sits. During peak summer periods, it is advisable to arrive early if expecting a marina berth, especially at weekends, when the ACI-owned Marina Split is filled with charter yachts on handover.	+	Visiting yachts have several options for berthing in Split.

Under new rules introduced in January 2010, this consists of a lump sum advance payment for all persons on board. For a typical yacht of 12-15 metres this costs from 300kn for 8 days up to 1300kn for a full year. Yachts can be heavily fined if this is not paid on entry, fines ranging from 1,000kn up to 5,000kn.

	Losinj Island lies off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]], immediately W of the island of [[Cres]], to which it was once joined and from which it is now separated by the narrow canal at the town of [[Osor]] in Cres. Five miles to the W are the small islands of [[Unije]] and [[Susak]] and just over a mile SSE is the equally small island of [[Ilovik]]. Losinj is a popular tourist destination, especially in July and August, when hordes of Italian holidaymakers flock to the island using the regular ferry service from [[Venice]]. The island’s principal town, [[Mali Losinj]], is also the main port of entry in this part of Croatia and is thus a much-frequented port of call by yachts crossing from the Italian coast between [[Ancona]] and Venice. The island’s principal attractions are to be found in the two settlements of Mali Losinj and [[Veli Losinj]] and tripper boats to the offshore islands of Uniju, Susak and Ilovak are busy during the summer. Most visiting yachts head for the main harbour of Mali Losinj (Veli Losinj has little space for a visiting yacht) although there are smaller harbours at [[Nerezine]] (where there is also a small boatyard and marina), [[Sv Martina]] and [[Rovenska]] as well as several attractive anchorages along the SW coast of the island.

The first two marinas are around a mile from the town centre. Smaller harbours are to be found at [[Nerezine]], [[Veli Losinj]], [[Sv. Martina]] and [[Rovenska]] on the E coast.
