Cruising
Losing a hurricane in the Bermuda triangle

If you ever go cruising in the Bermuda Triangle in hurricane season, and you are worried about getting lost at sea, relax when you hear reports about a Hurricane Noel bearing down on you. That's right. Just pop open another bottle of bubbly and party on. You will be perfectly safe.
The meteorologists aren't sure how it happens, but Noel is a typical example of a Bermuda triangle hurricane that went missing
One minute it will be ready to wreak carnage on all boats and island life for hundreds of miles around, and then pooooffffff, nada. Noel will disappear before it even gets close to frothing up the water across your cruise liner's bow. Not even a whimpering blip on a radar. How cool is that.
Have you ever experienced weird weather at sea or on land? Care to share?

Enjoy a Bermuda Triangle cruise

Apparently we know more about space than we do about the oceans! And when you next decide to go on a cruise around Bermuda, you should be afraid, be very afraid.
Cruise boats are safe, right?
Are you sure that a luxury cruise is a care-free experience? When you sail out to sea in a 5-storey boat, are you confident it will float? It should do, according to what we know of buoyancy and water displacement. And there is certainly plenty of proof that even small fishing boats can survive in the wildest of seas. But if we know so much about boat building, how come so many humungous sea-going vessels have sunk in the Bermuda Triangle without explanation? Enjoy!
It's the Bermuda Triangle monster, stupid
Relax, I am messing with you. A boat can't sink for no reason, and forewarned is fore-armed. If you know the dangers, you can take precautions.
I was confident that the answer to the long list of mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle lay in the astounding Jacques Cousteau Museum in Monte Carlo. They are supposed to have a copy of every single fish and ocean creature ever documented by science - at least up until the time I was there in 1980-something.
Sad to say, there were no examples of the Monster from the Bermuda Triangle! Sorry. I guess you won't know what hit you or sucked you down to the depths of the ocean.
If you do survive a cruise, let us know the name of your ship and I will add it to our list of cool boat names.
