>I hope that I am mistaken--but it seems that Duane Maher has violated a T &
T

I hope I have not violated any rules of this list.
My background:
I have owned sailboats and been sailing for the last 25 years. I have sold
my sailboat and now I am interested in trawlers.
I have been following this list for the last six months and value this list,
but it seems to be a bit stuffy. I wished I never responded to this post. It
was my second post to this list.
>He first touted Island Girl Products, then trashed West Marine and finally
>refered to the Island Girl Products as though he as an interest in the
>company.
My third post is a direct quote from the Island Girl's FAQ section web
site.
I have no financial interest in Island Girl. I have been a good customer
for 5 years. For the most part they have great products, and some not so
great. I am also a good West Marine customer. I spend a lot of money in
their stores. They are convenient and do have some good deals. However I
get frustrated with retail systems that penalizes small, and innovative
entrepreneurial companies. (This is just my opinion!)

Store

No doubt this is true. My local store manager has been helpful also.
>If I am wrong and Mr Maher has no interest in Island Girl, I
appologize--but
>he should disclose his relationship, considering what he posted.
Again I am just a good Island Girl customer and I am sorry if anyone
misunderstood my post.
BoatUs use to sell selected Island Girl products, but now I can not find it
anymore.
