Nice Photo
Will you be in the path of Matthew? I see they are predicting rough waters and rip currents there.
Good luck and be careful.

Thanks Martyn and Randy, we are just leaving the dock area to take the ferry to Hamilton, the capital.

I've been a couple times. Great place. Have a dark and stormy for me. Just don't buy those pink shorts. Not quite the same when you get home.

Our stay in Bermuda is ending a few hours early. The captain of the cruise ship has decided to leave a few hours early to avoid Matthew and Nicole.

Thanks Martyn. It's a little windier today and the waves a little choppier. If I don't make it back, you can have all my Trophies!

Some photos. The first one is the Keep in the Royal Naval Dockyards, the second a view of Hamilton and the third yours truly, next to a boat they're working on.

The house is actually the Commissioner's House, which is within the Keep. I believe the Keep was built to ward off enemy ships, primarily the Spanish and then the Americans. The last photo is a partial list of the Commanders of Bermuda.

Back home, a rainy welcome

Glad you enjoyed Bermuda! Visited it three times in the Seventies while working as an oceanographer and hope to return one of these days. Must say I was most impressed.

If you're thinking of going, one thing to bear in mind is that there are no rent a cars on the island. You have to depend on taxis. One tour guide publication said that taxi fares can eat up a lot of your budget.

Glad you got home safe Brad, looks like the weather has taken a turn for the worst {eek3}

We were lucky Martyn. I know that when we docked in NY on Sunday, they were getting the ship ready to go back to Bermuda. I wonder what happened.
