00:00It looks like it's going to go right over us, or to our west.
00:04Everybody's paying attention.
00:05That's why we're doing all this work, to try and save people's property and take care of
00:10their boats and make sure they don't get damaged.
00:13We're doing almost as good in the hurricanes though, we do pretty good.
00:18Houses are built strong for it, so we usually have a big party when it's going through,
00:23once we've done all our work.
00:25This is the hard part.
00:26But we still have a lot to do, so we haven't had our beer yet, but we're working towards
00:32it.
00:33The marina here, everybody in the marina has to evacuate.
00:37They have to leave the marina when it's a named storm.
00:39So they either have to get hauled up or go to a hurricane marine, and there's limited
00:43hurricane marines in Bermuda, so that's why a lot of boats choose to come up.
00:49And to clear the marina takes like three days, so you've got to start, you can't wait until
00:55the last day because there's not enough time then to do the work.
00:58So you have to start three days ahead of time, even four days, because the first day is usually
01:02making some prep work, making space, moving stuff around, getting everything ready.
01:07So it's basically four days of hard work.
