[Alberg30] Bermuda Info?

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

Yes, This is helpful info. Thanks. We know about the web site (I have so
many "Bermuda Trip Favorites", it's silly!). Good to know that the Gov't Pub
is the info on the web. I've gotten so frustrated looking for "The Guide",
that I was almost scared to try getting the Gov't Pub.

is a book we're looking for and can't find. Admittedly it is out of print
and probably out of date, but it is the only such book available and
probably has some timeless information in it.
