uiser’s Fatigue… Living on a sailboat is a dream lifestyle but a hard one too…there are three of you in the relationship…the two of you and the boat, and you’re always together. Sometimes, at the end of a long season, with many nautical miles under the keel, you just need to stop, to get off the boat, to recharge and take stock. It’s called Cruiser’s Fatigue. If you didn’t catch it last week then please join us on YouTube for a trip to Cartagena and some good old fashioned whinging as the end of the 2023 season approaches. #followintrepidbearorollowintrepidbear #cruisingcouple #continuouscruiser #liveaboard #liveaboardsailboat #liveaboards #lifeafloat #travellingbyboat #boatlife #sailtheworld #medsailors #sailinglife #thissailinglife #sailingstories #adventurebeforedementia

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!
