ETOPS waypoint Bermuda

Two engine jets are regulated by ETOPS rules which limit the distance
to the nearest airport should one engine fail (never mind two
engines!). The flight from Philadelphia makes a direct course to
Bermuda, and with the island in sight in the distance makes a gentle
right-hand turn towards the island of St. Maarten in the Caribbean.
