Part of the inspiration for Bristol Marine was the loss of a good friend’s husband in California who was a professional diver.  Nothing takes the place of an actual person but using a machine in inclement conditions is common sense and doesn’t jeopardize the diver’s jobs but works in conjunction making the job safer, cutting time in the water, and getting to the job assigned with greater accuracy.  Portable and profitable.  What’s not to love?  The start up business in a place where complaining is more acceptable than doing something about the situation is the answer I guess – please, prove me wrong!

Taxes in Maine might not be so difficult if everyone had a paycheck in line with the rest of the country.  Energy costs are keeping up with inflation but the average person in Maine has to work three jobs just to meet those costs, if their lucky.  Is that acceptable?  Maine is like a person with low self esteem, willing to take the abuse because that’s the way it’s done and scared of success?  What would you do with a weekend or evening off and little financial stress?  Of course perhaps that’s a difficult task no matter where you are in the nation today. But what do I know I’m from away?  Well, I know I’ve never worked so hard to get so little and frankly, I’m scared and very disappointed.  So much potential – Maine should be more than a vacation land…it’s strong, independent, and resourceful – demand what you (Maine) deserve!
