What Is it Like

Well, Bermuda, that is. But I should take one step back yet. I had to go back to my paperwork to see just how long I've been here in Bermuda. Ah, yes. My rent contract came up for renewal back this June. So ... a few more calculations, and it turns out I was here off and on from the beginning of 2004, and settled in full time during June 2004. Almost three years. Three very fast years.

I must say a bit too much work. Although I have tried to fit in some International One Design (IOD) sailing in while I can. My up-coming new years resolution will be to last a full season without getting socked in with work.

I lived in St. Thomas, USVI for a year and half before arriving here. Now if I could bring their winter time weather to Bermuda, I think I would be in Nirvana.

In Bermuada, I'm living on North Shore road. It provides a great view of the ocean on every ride into work. When ever I happen to leave the island and come back, I take the taxi ride back from the airport. I have to pinch myself every time. There is nothing like coming back home to paradise. No four line highways here. Not a one.

And by living on North Shore, I have two or three routes home, and none of them have traffic congestion. Well, yes, I did do that on purpose. Fortunately, I was here for a while to get an idea of where good places were, and what to look out for when renting a place.

Anyway, enough for now. More later.
