Captain Bermuda

Courage

Setting sail with a nervous heart

Captain Bermuda loves her boat, beautiful things, and the possibility waiting on the next shore. There is one detail this British explorer would rather keep quiet: she cannot swim. Even the life she chose can frighten her. Romances drift, plans change, and the ocean offers no guarantees, but her curiosity keeps calling her forward. Bermuda represents the courage it takes to want something before you feel ready for it. She is still learning, still afraid of certain waters, and still the captain of her own journey.

Bermuda is for the girl standing at the beginning of something unfamiliar, with a dream big enough to make her nervous.
