Passing under the High Bridge of Chalkida with the Yacht During the Golden Hour

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

AirVuz contributor Jimmy_K brings us this rather stunning drone video of a yacht passing under the Greece's Euripus Bridge.  Opened in 1993, the cable-stayed span connects the city of Chalkida (Chalcis) on the island of Euboea with the Greek mainland to its west.  The Euripus Bridge has a total length of just under 2.3k ft. (a bit under 700 m), with its longest span measuring 705 ft. (215 m).  Greece's first cable-stayed road bridge, it's the longer and newer of the two bridges which span the strait.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Passing under the high bridge of Chalkida with the yacht during the golden hour.

The sea currents in the famous Evripus Channel, the extremely narrow strait of water separating Chalkida from the mainland of Greece, move in a northerly direction for six hours at a time.Immediately afterward follows a period of approximately eight minutes when the waters remain stationary, similar to a “neap tide” which is part of the normal tidal cycle in the world’s oceans.After the complete stillness of those eight minutes, the waters change their orientation again, reversing direction, flowing toward the south for another six hours.
