The Crazy Waters Bridge in Chalkis sits at the narrowest point between Evia and the mainland, where the strait is only about 38 meters wide. Because so much water is forced through this tiny opening, extremely strong currents are created — the reason sailors call it the “Crazy Waters.” The bridge is in the middle of the city and opens only once a day to avoid disrupting the constant road traffic. Boats may only pass at slack tide, the brief moment every six hours when the water is calmest. That’s why sailors often go through at strange times like 1:30 or 3:00 a.m. While waiting, boats are not allowed to tie up along the quay because the turbulence is so strong that it would be dangerous. Instead, everyone must anchor in the bay and wait for instructions from Port Control. We anchored there with about fifteen other boats and waited until slack tide at night. At midnight, Port Control suddenly called all boats in order — we were number three. Passing the bridge in the dark was surreal: strong currents below, quiet city lights above. The bridge didn’t lift; it actually slid sideways into the quay walls, disappearing completely. Once through, we moored safely just 100 meters further in the city. Experiencing this natural phenomenon at night, in such a narrow and powerful channel, was something I will not quickly forget!

Luckily the storm did not take a direct path, but still caused some high winds and rough conditions! 📺BINGE Watch our Journey📺 https://youtu.be/w58uZsntFa0 📣UPDATES on the Socials📣 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sailingpanda Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SailingSVPanda ⛵MORE about PANDA BOAT⛵ https://youtu.be/aq52YgzuIbI 🐼SUBSCRIBE for FREE 🐼 https://www.youtube.com/c/SailingPanda 🍺SUPPORT our Journey🍺 (One Time Contribution) https://paypal.me/DarrenSeltzer 📸OUR Gear📸 Sony 6400 https://amzn.to/2TvFDNi GoPro 8 https://amzn.to/2Jd39wM DJI Osmo https://amzn.to/31K2mJV DJI Mavic Mini https://amzn.to/3kAigyb Headphones Jabra Elite https://amzn.to/3mqB4Am Recording Mic https://amzn.to/2Tuxzwm Camera Mic https://amzn.to/3kAm3vn 🤗OUR Partners🤝 UKSailmakers: https://www.uksailmakers.com BattleBorn Batteries https://battlebornbatteries.com 📧Contact US!📧 Email and say Hello anytime!
