In June I sailed onboard a 45-foot sailboat through the Bermuda Triangle then on to Bermuda itself running from a storm and finally to the Graveyard of the Atlantic, The Outer Banks, North Carolina.
We lost our engine, had a scrambled autopilot, dodged a supertanker at sea, crept through reefs near Bermuda, came across a ghost ship, and lost our rudder after running aground! Here is the video I made of our journey!

The legend our captain created so we could decipher our course on the auto pilot
The supertanker that came within a 1000 yards of us at sea while we only had sail power
I took noon sights daily with my sextant to practice celestial navigation

Blue Hole park in Bermuda is full of secret trails and hidden limestone caves
This was one of the caves you could swim inside, I only saw 2 other people in the 4 hours I was hiking

Bermuda is surrounded by danger
The adrift sailing vessel “ghost ship” we came across a day’s sail from Bermuda
My crew mate Yves Bolduc got some zoom photos while I filmed video
We rigged up an inner fore stay in preparation for a storm that would hit us later that night
