We are sending you this letter to say thank you. We recently were referred to you from Revere Supply Company. It is so refreshing to get such efficient service. We talked with your employee, David Costello and we feel like we have gained a good friend. He was so helpful and very responsive to our needs. So many times management never gets the word about good service from their employees. Keep up the good work and have a great day.

Thank you for writing to express your support for Sections 307 and 314 ofH.R.283O, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of2007. I appreciate hearing from you onthis matter.As you noted, Section 307 would improve commercial fishing vessel safety byupdating operation and training requirements and establishing new regulations to ensurethat vessels are seaworthy and adequate equipped. Section 314 would raise standards forsurvival craft so such craft must ensure that no part of an individual is immersed in water.On April 24, 2008, the House of Representatives passed H.R.2830 by a vote of395 to 7 with Sections 307 and 314 included. As the Senate moves forward with CoastGuard reauthorization, be assured that I will make vessel safety standards a top priority.Again, thank you for writing to me.. Please feel free to contact me again aboutthis or other issues of concern to you.

We own a Kelly-Peterson 44 Cutter and about 3 and a half years ago, we purchased of your 6-person offshore plus rafts with a few optional upgrades (boarding platform, pelican pac, stainless cradle, tripod arch and inflatable floor).Our raft lives on deck, just aft of our center cockpit (thru-bolted onto our aft cabin hatch). We brought it into Avalon Rafts in Wilmington today for servicing (it expired November 2007) and they spent a couple of hours with us inflating the raft (hopefully the only time we'll actually ever see it is for servicing) and going over every single feature, as well as every item in the Emergency Pack. We were absolutely impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the professionalism and helpfulness of Michael and David and their knowledge of marine safety and Winslow Rafts. They are a credit to your company and we have copied them on this email. We took quite a few digital photographs of the process and plan to use them for our orientation talks when new people come sailing with us as crew (we will be competing in the Marina del Rey-Puerto Vallarta Race in January 2009).This brings me to a request for your help/support - we're members of the Del Rey Yacht Club in Marina del Rey.
