Cosa tratta questo video
Glass Window Bridge in Central Eleuthera marks the narrowest point of the island — less than 30 feet wide — where the deep blue Atlantic Ocean on one side meets the turquoise Exuma Sound on the other.4:38 The crew of Epiphany dinghies ashore from anchor, beaches the dinghy on a falling tide, and hikes up to the one-lane concrete bridge.1:31 The original structure was a natural rock arch destroyed by a hurricane; the replacement concrete bridge has itself been battered repeatedly, and one girder is visibly rotted through, with salt corrosion rusting the embedded steel.5:15 The bridge closes during storms when waves wash over the roadway; chains and signs on each end mark the closure points.8:03 A blowhole southwest of the bridge forces water up through limestone cracks at high tide.7:52 About a mile south, two large boulders called the Cow and Bull were lifted onto the ridge by hurricane surge.5:39 The crew also stops at Twin Sisters, two limestone rock outcroppings with a lone tree, on the way to the bridge.0:37 A large fish spotted near the beach prompts a brief attempt at fishing before returning to the boat.1:53
