Randi has worked with physicists to expose hoaxes, and until some
managed to make a killing on the story, nobody considered the BermudaI hate to be put in the position of disagreeing with a stage magician

but I consider the short passage from Florida to the Carribbean to be
dangerous, if undertaken lightly. This opinion seems to be shared by
other sailboat sailors, who will wait at Florida patiently for the wind
to shift to the southerly quadrants so as to avoid the prospect of ugly
chop from wind opposing current. All this despite counter examples
featuring row-boats, jetskis etc. making the passage .
(A row-boat has rowed the Atlantic after all...)
I am not at all sure where the airplane losses fit in this discussion.
