Ofcourse! Yes there are a number of dangers along the way. Going Kiel Out you can relax as the waypoints can be relied on (as long as you use the button before you moved). I personally never managed to get reliable waypoints while being on the 'Kiel In' point. (they seemed to get rotated) So I just plot them myself. It isn't that big a task. But you should try to stay in the middle of the kanal. There are plenty (stationnary?) ships along the way and bridge pilars you can run into, and also some harbors with piers/docks sticking out. You need to be carefull on the way back. On one occasion I heard a horrible sound of something crashing when I had time compression up. Next thing I notice is the 'Uboot lost' screen. I found it quite embaressing getting sunk inside the homeland. I don't know if it was a ship in the way or if I got too close to the edge.
