"Trapped in Bermuda"....make a great movie.


That's what my cousin said. Their boat had some kind of metal rods
French or Italian steering (it was a Camper Nicholson), and they had
to wait a month to get the replacement. Living there was very
expensive.



Yes but it's a great place to live expensively. :-)

No one is forced to go there.

Interestingly enough the people who live in Bermuda full time can't
wait to get away for a weekend in New York City or London, sort of the
"another crummy day in paradise" syndrome.

They no longer sell aviation gas in Bermuda, just jet fuel. Keeps the
riffraff away.

Wow, just checked them out, you are correct. Sounds like on hell of a
draconian airport to land at...

Such a person could have some shipped in in barrels. Light plane
visitors have to carry fuel for the round trip.
