00:22 Anybody that would like to come down and have a look at our fleet, it's a very rare opportunity that we can get the majority of our fleet from the Illawarra together.
00:29 We'll be departing Shell Harbour Marina between 9 and 9.30 in the morning
00:34 and we will have boats going from a 4 metre jet ski up to a 13.7 metre flybridge cruiser.
00:41 So there'll be a vast array of vessels on there, great viewing from either the north or the south breakwater down here in Shell Harbour.
