Bermuda

Bermuda is a sub tropical island in the Atlantic Ocean, 1040 miles northeast of Miami, Florida. It is NOT in the Carribbean.

Bermuda is named after the Spanish captain, Juan de Bermúdez, who sighted the uninhabited islands around 1503.

In 1609 Admiral Sir George Somers was en route from England with supplies for the British settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, when his ship was wrecked off Bermuda. Finding it a rather pleasant place to be washed up, the admiral built replacement ships, sailed off and left a couple of men behind to establish a British claim to the islands. He returned that same year but died soon after arrival. His entrails are still in a park in Hamilton.

In 1999 we arrived...
