it has been mentioned use of portable transistor radio to find bermuda from mainland coast USA....back in late 70s ..80s many skippers going to windward islands went by way of bermuda...turned right near bermuda ..sailed directly south about 900 nm then sse to islands...we had b&g rdf and sailed the null to bermuda more than a few times on deliveries...simple & always reliable..especially if had couple cheap transistor radios...really quite simple.....never used autopilots to much electric draw ...loran c was degraded as travelled south....nice to have gps today to back up your estimated position...we actually sailed to bermuda...where today seem to meet a lot of sailboats motoring to destinations..just a note that really , alot has not changed when sailing long distance atlantic offshore just more gadgets from west marine to buy ...bigger fuel tanks..etc....
