Garret McLaughlin from River Valley Power and Sport wrote The Watercraft Journal:
“I recently took a trip to Indonesia and prior to my departure the area I stayed in was hit hard by a huge earthquake. In an effort to help out with relief efforts I designed a t-shirt that is being sold through various PADI dive shops through the region. I started a GoFundMe to help get the funds together and while I’ve made some progress I still have pulled a significant amount of money out of my own pockets to get it rolling.
“I spent 30 days in Indonesia and was overwhelmed by the dominance that Yamaha has in the area, especially as it pertains to outboard motors. I would estimate that 90% of the boats I saw were powered by Yamaha outboards and the Yamaha scooters were everywhere. Indonesia is quite literally powered by Yamaha!
“I laid the groundwork for the project, found an amazing group to funnel the donations to, and paid out of pocket to produce the shirts.”
