Sneak out of our base in Tortola and ride the easterly trade winds towards Virgin Gorda's immense natural rock pools. A sailor's paradise, the BVI is home to warm weather, ideal conditions and hundreds of hidden cays and spectacular dive sites. Navigate the cays, sounds and islands between Jost van Dyke and the incredible coral island, Anegada. Tuck into fresh seafood, and engage in relaxed island life at every stop. Enjoy line-of-sight, short hops all around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, or take on a longer passage. Sip rum punch as you watch the sunset, and explore Norman Island, the inspiration for Treasure Island.

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!
