Bermuda crossing
hi,
there isn''t a whole lot of cruising around bermuda. however the bermuda tourist council (on the web) will mail you a great pamphlet about coming into bermuda via boat including anchoring areas etc. when you are within vhf range of bermuda you must check in with bermuda harbor radio . if i you have ssb you can check in when you leave fla. they will keep an eye out for you. you must enter bermuda on the east harbor st. georges and go to the customs dock it''s about a mile from the entrance to the harbor on the north side. you pull right up to the dock and clear in very simple and hospitible, you must check guns and flare guns. they are very hospitable. there is a bus that runs all around the island and is very cheap. you can anchor in in the harbor or tie up to the quay near the customs dock. (some boats have been broken into there in the past.
we stay at the st georges dinght club (say hi to vincent the bartender for me) they are very eager for cruisers and have good showers and a head electric is $6 a day water is free.. if you anchor or tie up to the quay it''s a hike to the showers.
there are many cruisers guides to the carribbean. where are you going?
what type of boat do you have?
