Between Two Yetis

A regular on the show, James Maitland, but see him as never before, talk about his childhood in the mid-west. It is always remarkable how people end up in the marine industry and this is one such case.

At the 2018 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show we got to catchup with Tommy Thompson of Bertram Yachts to see what they have been up to since his last appearance on the show. It turns out a LOT!

This past year we lost someone who touched the lives of so many in the marine industry. Between Two Yetis presents Pamela Kelley direct from the people who knew her best - her friends and family.

This is a new genre for us at Between Two Yetis, honoring the lives of those who have helped make this industry stronger.

This was filmed in July this year, so please forgive us for taking so long to put this together, but the last 3 days of editing has been truly uplifting. Between Two Yetis started out as casual conversations between friends sharing a beer - it can be so much more...

Thank you to Pam's family for letting me do this. May we all raise a toast to Pam this evening.

At the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2018, on day 1 as the show opened we sat down between two yetis with Abi McGrath and found out how she started ACREW. She is an inspiration to not only women in the industry but for everyone starting and running their own business.

SBC Laser and Flashings in Opa Locka, (Miami) Florida is a family run company. We've seen them grow over the past few years from a traditional sheet metal shop to a state of the art laser cutting facility. We forced Nick Caito to break away for 15 minutes to talk about working with lasers, the Midwestern work ethic and the work life balance of working and living with family.
