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!

Gineico Marine demonstrates the quick response of the Quick Gyro Stabiliser when switched 'on'! Reducing boat roll up to 95%, the vertically spinning gyros are effective at full speed as well as at anchor. While our team are putting all their effort into producing roll when the Quick Gyro was on, their efforts amounted to very little. The Quick Gyro is the smallest, simplest gyro on the market. With 17 different models to choose from, our wide range covers applications from the smallest 20ft day cruiser or centre console through to superyachts. We have the right Gyro for your vessel. For a pleasant day out, don't go boating without one! ⚓ Visit our website for more information and an online quote - https://www.gineicomarine.com.au/quic... , or 🌊 Book a Sea Trial to check out what all the excitement is about: https://www.gineicomarine.com.au/book...
