It's as simple as that. Of course you could go to West Marine and spend $$$ on a Bermudan flag ..... Why bother when all you need is a smidgin Red Duster .... But if you don't wear a courtesy flag nobody in Bermuda notices.
Have a nice time there ... It's a great place and get you scooters from the top end of Water St and the cheapest supermarket (proper one) is on the site of the old USA airforce base - from St George: 1st left at the roundabout over the causeway past the airport and as soon as you go up the hill fork right /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

You have a red ensign, so do they. No need for a courtesy flag. Same applies to e.g. Anguilla, Montserrat etc. Australia & New Zealand may be a different case though. Any info from down under on that?

Just read your bio, when are you planning to be in Bermuda?
We will be there in the next few weeks visiting the outlaws - might be able to meet for a beer.

You lucky f..f..forumites!
I was there a couple of weeks ago... fantastic!
Tell me, why do all the houses have white painted concrete roofs? Hurricanes?

Tradition and heritage, based on
- being storm proof
- what they have learned to build
- planning regs wanting to keep to the tradition
- they reflect the sun
- they catch the rain for storage under the house
Glad you enjoyed it.
All of SWMBO's family are there, so it is more of an obligation than a holiday for us, but I still love the place.

Thanks for the replies.
Miribriani - planning departing Norfolk on 9th or 10th July and will be in Bermuda 3.5 to 4 days later for a couple of days. However, we may have to avoid Bermuda altogether if there are any early hurricanes heading that way.
