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!

Scanboat has been online since 1997 when we started as boat4you.dk and now 5.2 million annual visits, looking at 26 million pages Scanboat has achieved its position by developing the site for the benefit of buyers and sellers, but not least also by adapting to the requirements google makes to want to make web pages visible in their search. Therefore, scanboat today has a broad and very strong position as an advertising platform for used and new boats, both among users and google. As info, Google does not show ads from social media while that up to 50% of the traffic on targeted marketplaces, just comes through google. Social marketplaces can be equated with putting "for sale" signs on the boat only when the boat is out sailing while advertising on scanboat and other marketplaces that focus on buying and selling, is equivalent to you also have the sign on when your boat is lying still and quiet and people come by, by themselves. Hope it made sense and from scanboat to all of you, lots of success in getting your boat sold or finding your dream boat. If it is out there… then it can definitely also be found on scanboat. https://scanboat.com/en/boat-market/boats
