First the Philippines, next Thailand

Steve Stajkowski makes jet boats for the recreation industry. You know, zipping up the Snake River on a hot summer day, enjoying the cool spray on your face and dropping a line in the water from time to time.
Now, let’s just say SJX Boats of Orofino has expanded its mission a bit. Last month, one of his specialized jet boats was in full operation in the Philippines during horrendous flooding there. That boat helped save 1,200 people trapped by the rising water.
It seems that another of SJX’s boats is on its way to Thailand, where flooding is also occurring. These boats are saving lives. Here’s SJX’s website: www.sj-x.com.
