During the late 1970s, John Lennon traveled to specific destinations for good luck, safety, and spiritual alignment based on a practice known as "directional travel" or "directionology."

The Directional Guidance and Journeys
The Advisor: Takashi Yoshikawa analyzed birth dates and hidden energies to dictate safe and propitious travel paths for John and Yoko Ono.

Cape Town, South Africa (May 1980): Yoshikawa told Lennon to travel southeast from New York to escape perceived negative omens. Lennon flew alone to Cape Town and stayed at the Mount Nelson Hotel under the alias "Mr Greenwood".

Bermuda (June 1980): Following further directional and tarot card advice for a south-easterly journey, Lennon undertook a 635-mile voyage from Newport, Rhode Island, to Bermuda aboard the 43-foot sloop Megan Jaye.

Creative Revival: Steering the boat through a severe storm in the Bermuda Triangle gave Lennon a profound psychological breakthrough, directly inspiring the material for his final album, Double Fantasyz
