Nothing adds to a trip more that appropriately themed entertainment. Below
are the music, movie and book choices I feel are essential on a sail to Bermuda.
MusicI created two musical collections especially for the trip - "Sailing to Bermuda 2001" and "Stormy Weather" inspired by Tropical Storm Allison which drenched us before we even left port. Sailing to BermudaShiver Me Timbers (Bette Midler) Stormy WeatherWeather With You (Crowded House)
|
 | The Perfect Storm |
| Jaws |
| Castaway |
| Dead Calm |
| Titanic |
In retrospect I would add:
| The Abyss |
| 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea |
| The Little Mermaid |
You might also want to consider these films shot in Bermuda:
| The Deep |
| Chapter 2 |
| That Touch of Mink |
BooksThree essential choices:
| The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger |
| The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved by Larry Kusche |
| Lonely Planet - Bermuda. We all found this extremely useful |
I also started
| 'Caribbean' by James A. Michener - not directly relevant to Bermuda but still of general background interest |
The key is to take LOTS to read and a variety of books. As well as the first two listed I got through two Harry Potter books and started on the epic .
The Lonely Planet Guide also recommends among others:
| Bermuda's Story, by Terry Tucker, "a short and easy-to-read
history covering the period from Bermuda's founding to the 1960s."
| Bermuda's Marine Life, by Wolfgang Sterrer
| Bermuda Shipwrecks by Daniel and Denise Berg
| Jaws by Peter Benchley - written while on Bermuda
| The Deep by Peter Benchley inspired by his diving outings | |
