00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:04.500
<v ->My name is Tom Pinfold.</v>

2
00:00:04.500 --> 00:00:05.880
I was originally born in England,

3
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:07.170
and I've been living in the British Virgin

4
00:00:07.170 --> 00:00:08.370
Islands for 35 years.

5
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:11.760
I've always loved being on the water

6
00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:13.650
that I've grown up on a
boat since I was tiny.

7
00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:16.260
It's all I remember. I sail, I fish,

8
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.700
and as time goes on, I learn more

9
00:00:17.700 --> 00:00:19.500
and more things that I love about the work

10
00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:33.083
for hurricane season.

11
00:00:33.083 --> 00:00:35.010
Most people want their
boats out of the BVI

12
00:00:35.010 --> 00:00:36.300
and up somewhere safe in Maine

13
00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:40.500
or New York, it's about a
two week trip, 1600 miles.

14
00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:43.200
It's never normally a leisurely trip.

15
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:45.360
You can only see a week ahead as to

16
00:00:45.360 --> 00:00:46.470
what the weather's gonna do.

17
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:47.580
Obviously, you don't wanna be out

18
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:48.630
there when the weather goes bad.

19
00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:50.040
You are trying to get there as quick

20
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:51.510
as you can, as safe as you can.

21
00:00:53.070 --> 00:00:56.040
We've had a couple trips where
the cabin top is broken apart

22
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:58.350
from the deck, and you
have water coming in.

23
00:00:58.350 --> 00:00:59.790
We've been struck by lightning

24
00:00:59.790 --> 00:01:01.620
and did about a hundred thousand
dollars worth of damage.

25
00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:06.780
One of my favorite things
about being on a boat is being

26
00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:08.220
able to change your backyard

27
00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:09.900
and wake up somewhere different each day.

28
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:13.080
You know, I hope

29
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:15.420
that my kids will pick
up on my love for water.

30
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.340
I mean, they already are.
They go to the beach a lot.

31
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.440
You know, living on an
island surrounded by water.

32
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.270
You know, you're on a boat all the time.

33
00:01:21.270 --> 00:01:23.970
You're at the beach, you're
sailing, you're surfing slowly,

34
00:01:23.970 --> 00:01:26.010
learning all of the same
things that I grew up doing,

35
00:01:26.010 --> 00:01:26.843
which makes me happy.
