#75 | The Mariner | The Triangle of Bermuda


Listen Later

No mistake made in the title! I wish to put forth the concept that we should be referring to the 'Triangle of Bermuda' rather than the 'Bermuda Triangle' to correctly identify a patch of the world's oceans that contains a known set of meteorological, navigational, oceanographic and seamanship challenges that together have indeed caused a number of ships to go missing over the period of time man has been traversing those waters and keeping logs of their experiences. 

Is it aliens, worm holes or time travellers? No, and therefore the term 'Triangle of Bermuda' needs to be thrown out.

To me the tall tales that surround this area constitute a kind of straw man argument for caution which once disposed of by a rational mind could lull the unwary into thinking we in fact should not give this area any more of our focus than any other, and THAT would be a mistake.

Let us instead recognize and consider the perfectly explainable but manifold risks that the 'Triangle of Bermuda' contains for the sailor,  and plan accordingly.
