That whole 'August' thing came about because BdU sent 14 boats to sea on August 19, and a lot of us complained that we couldn't be part of that group. To avoid it just select September as your starting month. That is what the stock game gives you anyway.
I like taking my time cruising the harbors, so I never choose 'Start at Sea'. In the case of Kiel it would have been nice to start just off the mouth of the Elbe, to represent having transitted the Canal.
