We left Virginia 3 days after this guy! Bermuda requires a covid travel authorization and test, but I'm shocked they refused entry. However, they are Covid-paranoid, as almost every case they have seen has been from a foreign traveler. I know another sailor who was permitted entry to make repairs on his way to Puerto Rico this winter.
Wonder what the rest of the story is.
