June 2005 - Bermuda
Facts
Bermuda is an archipelago of over 150 small islands and islets,
the largest linked together by causeways and bridges into
a fish hook shape.
The well-sheltered St George's Harbour provides a restful
anchorage from which to explore this neat and tidy little
country. Such exploring is best done by land. The alternative
anchorage is in Hamilton, but as all yachts have to clear
in first at St George's, few bother to sail out afterwards
and around the island to thread their way through the reefs
to Hamilton harbour.
Although existing repair and service facilities are dispersed
all over Bermuda rather than being grouped together, virtually
everything one may need is available on the island even if
it may take some time to find it. Marine supplies or essential
parts that are unavailable can be ordered from the USA to
which there are several flights every day.
