Except for some excellent surf perhaps!

Colin only has winds of 45 mph now.  Bermuda is going to take a direct hit tomorrow, so those people should be very thankful that it's only a weak tropical storm and not something far more serious.

Colin is barely a storm now with winds of 40 mph - no significant changes within the next few hours.

Bermuda is in a drought right now, so they'll be looking forward to the rain at least (as long as there's no serious flooding).

Colin has dissipated as of 5 PM EDT as it has lost its surface circulation again.  This time, it's gone for good as it heads towards cooler waters.  It was only a tropical depression with 35 mph winds before NHC decided to quit on this storm.  Bermuda should be okay despite some heavy rain and gusty winds in the elevated portions of the island, which will subside as the remnants of Colin move away.

RIP Colin. Poor guy never had a chance

RIP Colin. Poor guy never had a chance

Kinda just a small fizz and a lot of fizzle out in the Atlantic.   Still, I'm sure residents of Bermuda are relieved they're getting nothing more than a passing breezy rainstorm.
