"Focus On What Matters Most" by Hunter H. McIntosh
Reprinted with permission from Hunter H. McIntosh, President, The Boat Company
With the transition of power now over, and the process of seating
a new Presidential cabinet under way at the time I write this, we all
watch the news with bated breath in anticipation of who will be the
next Secretary of this, or Ambassador of that. At the end of the day,
with so much fear gripping our nation, the reality is that we are a
country of checks and balances.
As a small business focused on nature-based tourism in Southeast
Alaska, as well as the protection and preservation of the Tongass
National Forest, like many we have our concerns. Conservation has
always been at the heart of our mission, and we are passionate about
taking action to protect this amazing area we cruise throughout each
year. However, we also are dedicated to providing our guests with the
best wilderness experience that Alaska has to offer. And so, in this issue, we share with
you some current events about our government and the Tongass, in the hopes we might
inspire you to help us in our land protection efforts. And as always, we share some
personal stories, company updates and compelling photographs to hold you over until we
see you again {hopefully sooner than later!}
