Peter’s an interesting guy. At one time he was a member of Bermuda’s America’s Cup sailing team. He also was a friend of Teddy Tucker, the legendary treasure hunter who discovered over 100 shipwrecks in the waters surrounding that beautiful isle, including his most famous find, the “Tucker Cross,” an emerald studded 22-karat gold religious artifact recovered from the San Pedro, a Spanish galleon lost on Bermuda’s reefs in 1594.
Peter is also our favorite taxi driver. Whenever we visit the island (a place that holds special meaning to me given that my parents met there in 1946 and also because Linda and I honeymooned there), we make every effort to arrange his services.
Peter is a veritable encyclopedia when it comes to Bermuda. And a real raconteur. He knows every inch of the island and is highly conversant in politics, the economy, and local scuttlebutt. He’s also a lot of fun. Plus, he takes us where we want to go!
