HURRICANES PROVE COSLTY TO E. END HUR Hurricanes prove costly to E. End The high number of hurricanes this year has cost Bermuda more than $30,000.

The losses come from money normally earned from sailors who bring their yachts to Bermuda during the autumn months while travelling south to the Caribbean where they spend the winter.

Last month 54 yachts arrived in Bermuda, down from the 93 yachts which arrived in October, 1994.

Mayor of St. George's the Wor. Henry Hayward estimated yachts visiting Bermuda normally had about four people on board. These people each paid $15 per head on arrival and then spent approximately $200 apiece on provisions and entertainment.

St. George's Yacht Reporting Centre's spokesman Mr. Larry Brangman said people were bypassing Bermuda and sailing direct to Key West and Miami this year because of the hurricanes which have devastated many Caribbean islands.
