St. George's, Bermuda Sunday 15 June 2008

Here is a view of St George's harbor from the a location by Fort Georges on Rich's Mount the highest point on this end of the island at 256 feet above sea level.



The facilities of Radio Bermuda are also located here. Their services manage all shipping activity in and out of Bermuda. As we approached the island on Friday we contacted them when we were 30 miles out and they provide navigational information and clear you to enter the harbor.

One of the several large cannon that were used to prevent unwanted visitors access to the island. The fort was built here in 1788.

We finally got off the boat and into town after a day of resting from the trip. Here is Joyce in the town square stocks.

And Gordon at another of the fortifications protecting access to the island.


Here is Jabberwocky (in the foreground) at anchor.





A local residence and one of many lovely homes in the area.












PS: We actually have a wireless Internet connection on the boat. One of the local boat yards provides the service free. Also, do not complain about high diesel prices. We checked the pumps at the town fuel dock and it was $2.07 per liter (3.785 liters per gallon) this works out to $7.83 per gallon. Water is dear here and they charge $0.15 gallon as well.
