As a kid, I reveled in the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, pouring over literature that told of ghost ships, of planes disappearing forever, of instruments going haywire. As an adult, with images from my youth clear in my head, I’ve spent much time within the boundaries of the dreaded Triangle, a swath of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, South Florida and Puerto Rico. Besides Bermuda, most of the 700-plus islands that make up the Bahamas fall within the Triangle. I have scuba dived the Bimini Road, an underwater rock formation near the Bahamas, explored the wreck-strewn waters off Bermuda and even sailed into the triangle on numerous occasions. Am I lucky to be alive? What’s true? What makes up the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle?
