Our plans for the future:
This is our 30th year in business and we are seeing the world change. As much as we like exotic woods, the day is fast approaching when we must stop using them. They are not renewable and their removal destroys delicate inter-locking eco-systems that are struggling as it is. Fortunately the goverment in Costa Rica started a program about 20 years ago to encourage landowners to re-plant their property with teak. This program is working and there is an an abundance of plantation grown teak available here which is taking pressure off of primary forests. Within the next year this will be our only handle choice. All sailors know about the wonders of teak and how well it survives with exposure to sun and water. It is time for us to think about our impact on the world.
Our oceans need help! Once the trawlers have scraped the bottom clean and the long liners and gill netters have made their catch and discarded the waste ( sea turtles, dolphins, etc.), there won't be much left for sport fishermen. Or anyone else for that matter.
We use this for sending out newsletters to our dealers. Easy to use and cheaper than most of these programs. E mails can easily be created using any web design program. If you don't have a web site, the forms can be created from within iContact. E mail addresses can be imported from any database or spreadsheet.
