Puerto Rico Hurricane storage?

Where are suitable places to store our catamaran in Puerto Rico for the hurricane season while we go home?

With all the travel restrictions our original plan of sailing to Grenada and then flying out from there are looking increasingly problematic. So, since we are currently in USVI we are thinking of just leaving the boat in Puerto Rico.

Of course PR is right in the hurricane belt (witness Maria and Irma!) so does anyone have any suggestions as to where best to leave the boat, and whom to have looking after it?

I believe that Marina del Rey does a pretty good job of on-land storage and had very little damage.

What other options might there be ( on land, in mangroves etc)?

Incidentally, insurance is not an issue - we have third-pary liability only and, in any case, they would not cover that geographical location.

Oh, one more thing, we are Canadian flagged, so would we have to pay all sorts of duty/taxes to leave her in PR?

Thanks

Noel
