Ep. 131 ~ Join us on an unforgettable night time sailing adventure as we navigate our catamaran under the iconic Evripos Bridge in Chalkida, Greece! The Evripos Bridge, connecting Evia Island to the mainland, is not only a marvel of engineering but also home to the famous Euripus Strait phenomenon, where tidal currents dramatically change direction multiple times a day.
With the mast of our catamaran towering too high to clear the bridge, we had to wait until late at night for the drawbridge to open, timed perfectly with calmer tides and currents. Watch as we navigate through this thrilling experience, showcasing the beauty of Greek waters and the unique challenges of sailing under such a historic structure.
