In the more than 200 ports in northern Germany, harbor masters look after the many private boats that travel on the North Sea and Baltic Sea and inland waters. Every day something unexpected happens, sometimes small and medium-sized disasters, the chatter with permanent moorers and constant complainers adds salt to the soup and the weather always has surprises in store. You can find this and other documentaries in the ARD Mediathek: https://www.ardmediathek.de/dokus The job of a harbor master does not require any training. Many have become harbor masters voluntarily after their professional life or for fun. Men or women as mooring hands who moor other guys with their boats. The three-part mini-series visits four ports and their harbor masters in each episode. On Norderney, harbor master Jörg Pauls is battling a stormy day and wrecked sailing boats in his last season in 2022. Harbor master Silke Bothmann is confronted with the diesel plague on the Kiel Canal. Heinz Wolff is worried about the crab fishermen in Greetsiel. And in Waren an der Müritz, the harbor masters Jens Ahlrep and Udo Meyer have their hands full with drifting yachts. More on this: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/programm...
