Boom, it is autumn and slowly but surely, the weather is on the change. Cold fronts have started to blow on through, bringing a bit of thunder and lightning, and showers that were certainly well needed by most tanks and gardens. Does this mean that s...

It was with some trepidation that the organisers awaited the dawn on Sunday. Florence fears were abounding, and many boat owners had decided to be proactive and to remove their various craft from the water, concluding this year’s boating season. Stil...

The 52nd annual Royal Gazette Wahoo Tournament was a huge success yesterday, despite fears of the effects of Hurricane Florence. Organiser John Barnes said that about 30 boats had signed up to take part in the competition. Mr Barnes said: “The condit...

What is it with the weather and tournaments? It can be fine, calm and sunny for weeks on end and then a major tournament comes along and the island finds itself the target of its first taste of some undesirable, seasonal tropical weather system. With...

The Bermuda Marlin Triple Crown continues to run apace — and at what a pace! This week, in grouchier seas than generally preferred, the Bermuda Big Game Classic came to a conclusion, one that few would have predicted. Here’s how it broke down: Captai...
