June 1. 2024
Apologies for the tardy Seakeeper news this month. We had a very busy month of Seakeeper Events as well as we were waiting for confirmation on a few things prior to release. We are announcing 1 this month and 1 next month because we were not able to finalize all the plans.
MaJOR ANNIVERSARY’s
Before we mention anything we want to mention a huge milestone hit by 2 employees this month. Eric Fromen and Joe Mann hit 6 years with Tri Sea Stabilizers this year. It has not been an easy 6 years with an up and coming company which, in the words of the great Buddy Aimar, has more often than not.. “felt like drinking water through a fire hydrant”. There is more in the Anniversary section on this but, they started with us in the beginning and have stuck by us though the years. We are very grateful to them and their family’s! Happy Big 6 guys!!!!
Upcoming Holiday News
The biggest news of the month is that we have decided to take Friday after July 4th off as a company. Everyone should try to hit their 30 hours by Wednesday evening and will be paid for the 40.
BIG ROCK
John and Steve traveled this month to the Annual Big Rock Tournament in North Carolina and worked their tails off representing the Tri Sea and Seakeeper brand at the biggest tournament on the East Coast. They not only saw many familiar faces both from the West and East coast of Florida as well as NC, but made a ton of new relationships and made many Captains Happy, that they were there to get them back on the water.

EMPLOYEE NEWS:
Anniversary’s
Join us in Saying Happy Anniversary to your Team mates!
ERIC FROMEN 6 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - The man, THE LEGEND!. We still don’t know everything our office staff said to him in 2018 to get Eric to come be a part of this crazy team! However, we are sure glad they got him to leave his corporate big machine position and join us at Tri Sea Stabilizers.
He has busted his butt with this company in so many ways and in so many different locations it is hard to find a way to tell him how grateful we are to have him on our team! He took a leap of faith to take a job with our tiny mom and pop because he saw the potential for the future.
Many of you may not know that Eric, like Tim and I, spent almost 2 years traveling back and forth, away from his family to work for us and to work towards his dream.
We have learned much and grown a ton together because of Eric.
Eric is an avid Angler and just loves to fish any chance he gets.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: When he is not fishing or working on his or his kids cars, in his free time, Eric loves to binge on netflix series if it gains his attention.
JOSEPH MANN 6 Years / TAMPA, FL The “Mann” Joe Mann! We are grateful for our friend Coty Garrett, who works at Seakeeper,Inc, for introducing us to a great diagnostic auto mechanic who was looking for a life change in 2018. Having worked on cars all his life he was looking for a new challenge and boy did he find one with us.
Joe also traveled A LOT in those early years. It’s not easy to find someone you can trust to represent your company on any dock anywhere and we found that in Joe immediately. Joe was basically home for weekends and Holidays the first year of his employment with Tri Sea and he busted his butt on the road for us, living that lifestyle until Seakeeper’s were prevalent enough that he could finally have enough work to stay home on the West coast.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Joe loves to fish and, as you can see from the photo to the right, it runs in the family. Joe also loves to ski and snowboard and takes his vacations every year with family and friends to make that happen.
MICHAEL DAVIES 2 Years / TAMPA, FL Michael spent a lot of time sailing the waters of the Northeast. Growing up with a love of water it seems natural that he entered the Coast Guard which is eventually what brought him to the Tampa area.
Michael knew he wanted to be in the Marine Industry and came to us looking for just what we wrote in our advertisement. A career he liked with people he liked instead of “just a job”.
We truly hope that he found the long term team he was looking for! He is one of the hardest working team players we have ever encountered in business and would do just about anything for a teammate in need!
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Michael is a car enthusiast and loves all things automotive. His favorite Holiday is Christmas!
DAVID MUNNE 1 Years / FORT LAUDERDALE David also came to us as a veteran of the Coast Guard via the Miami Station.
In his first year with us he has grown leaps and bounds in his Seakeeper Technical experience. He was hired to man the more Northern side of the East Coast of Florida. It is an area our guys had a hard time hitting on the daily due to traffic and how busy they already were in their area.
As our main Seakeeper Technincian between the Fort Pierce, Stuart and West Palm area he has already made name for himself and Tri Sea as the continued area go to for all things Seakeeper.
LITTLE KNOWN FACT: He is a happy Baseball dad and is his kids biggest fan.
BIRTHDAYS:
CARLOS TERRIENTES - June 21
