To mitigate the risk of a developing tropical cyclone, the owners of a 12-meter catamaran, *Trade Runner*, relocate the vessel from a mooring in Sadgroves Creek to the Cullen Bay Marina in Darwin.0:12 The decision follows converging weather models predicting a significant low-pressure system with potential 90-knot gusts impacting the area during the owners' planned five-week road trip.0:36 Before entering the marina, the crew undergoes a mandatory hull inspection to clear the vessel for the enclosed lock system.3:07 Upon arrival at the assigned 13-meter berth, the owners find the space undersized, leaving the boat protruding and inadequately secured against potential wind shifts.14:12 Despite unsuccessful negotiations with marina management for a larger slip, the crew secures the vessel by doubling lines, removing the headsail, and clearing the deck of loose gear.15:02 They also secure loose equipment on an adjacent, neglected vessel to prevent collision damage.15:23 The owners depart for their trip, leaving the boat unattended during the storm.20:23
