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!

Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. Embark with us on a journey to master the art of boating during incoming tides as we back out of a slip and leave the marina with finesse. Understanding Tides and Currents Before we push off, let’s talk tides! Did you know that tides are the longest waves on Earth, traveling across entire ocean basins? Understanding their patterns is key to a smooth departure. Strategic Slip Exit Strategize your slip exit. With the tide pushing against you, it’s like playing a game of chess with the sea. Position your boat at a 45-degree angle and let the tide work for you, not against you. The Art of Throttle Control Gentle on the throttle, captain! In an incoming tide, less is more. A soft touch can be the difference between a graceful exit and a marina mishap. Anchor Wisdom from Experts Bob Sweet’s "Boat Handling and Docking" dives into the skills needed for precise boat control, while Alain Poiraud’s "The Complete Anchoring Handbook" teaches us the art of staying put when you choose to. Navigating Crowded Marinas Exiting during high traffic? Timing is as crucial as tide knowledge. Watch the flow, find your moment, and glide out with confidence. Unexpected Perspective: The Tide as Your Dance Partner Think of the tide as your dance partner in the water waltz. It leads, you follow, and together you perform the marina exit dance. It’s not just science, it’s art!
