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 โ the reason sailors call it the โCrazy Waters.โ 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. Thatโs 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 โ we were number three. Passing the bridge in the dark was surreal: strong currents below, quiet city lights above. The bridge didnโt 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!

I'm helping a lovely couple sail their boat from Baltimore to Ft Lauderdale. It's their first long passage, and they asked me to mentor them along the way. There's nothing more comforting than having someone around to tell you that the seas are big, but they're normal or know how to quickly troubleshoot when something goes wrong. If you're looking for help on your first long passage or delivering a new boat to your home port, get in touch: https://sailingbritican.com/sailboat-delivery-assistance/ #learntosail #sailboatdelivery #boatdelivery #captainforhire #sailingadventure #sailingexperience
