No -I don't think anyone made it in or out ofo Bermuda yesterday.
My guess is Bermuda will be a no go for cruise ships today as well. And tomorrow is only a maybe, but the way this storm ihas behaved, I wouldn't count on it.

I apologize for not getting this on the net early this morning but the Telephone Company here has some sort of fault were a certain first and second digit of telephone numbers have gone down so even though I have two separate incoming lines both are out of order this outage also affects data and DSL service. So I have had to actually take the laptop to a different location to access primitive dial up or public wireless access to post this message.
Things are getting back to normal today following the very close pass of Tropical Storm Bertha yesterday. After having gusting winds in the morning of 50mph + the afternoon proved worse with even a Hurricane Watch posted for gusts of hurricane force wind expected after Bertha was visited by one of the weather planes. The storm was found to have hurricane force gusts in some of the squalls. No major problems reported with many areas without power by nightfall but I am sure all is back to normal now as the wind did abate rapidly after 8pm as the barometer rose quite fast. This morning its around 29.90 with wind gusts of less the 25mph. inland.
Today has been very warm again and mostly sunny The wind has continued to fall with not much at all presently On another note I did record over 4 inches of rain since July 12th so that?s good as we had not seen rainfall for a month at least.
As I said in a previous post I cannot believe that we were having a tropical system this early in the season this far north as this would normally happen late August and more then likely if at all September. Most Bermudians do not even prepare this early for hurricanes as July August hurricanes are usually in the south Caribbean area. I guess there must be some truth to the world weather changing. I just hope this not the rule of thumb for the next 3 months.
Wishing you all a pleasant day, and quiet balance of this already unpredictable hurricane season 2008.
