Sounds like it's well protected then -is that something to do with the
Gulf stream? Are there a lot of shipwrecks?

Depends on your boat, your nerves, and the weather. Supposedly there are a
couple of channels used by locals coming in from the west, but AFAIK the
approach usually relied on is to sail well north (or south, if you have
either come from the Bahamas or have been blown past it) and around to the
east side.

Several Newport-Bermuda races have hinged on how well the navigator manages
this.

Sounds like they were trying to diagnose some sort of problem.

Is that why you take so many IQ tests?

Extinct volcanic mount with a fringe reef..... on the Bermuda Rise
formation. Yes lots of wrecks but not affected by the stream. Bloody
expensive place..... try $20 for a burger!

sorry, ganz. not my type.

You know every time someone tells me I have xx IQ or I just
did a deal for xx $$, or I just bought a brand new xx for 1/2 the
cost, I know for certain that they are full of it.

If you believe you're brilliant, fine with me.

yeah, my 133 to 154 (depending on the test) was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below
their
198 to 305 IQ's

The reason being that they couldn't believe how low the scores
were, while still allowing you to talk.

I think it is more telling when middle aged people tell stories of
their "achievements" during their Jr High and High School days. Sort
of conjures up images of Al Bundy. Well, except Al was employed,
married and likeable.
