All you boaters out there should know that if an item is marked "marine", that is going to be expensive - If it is marked "sailboat", then it is REALLY going to be expensive! With this in mind, it should be no surprise that many of the items sold and marketed by West Marine are pricey. Some of the items they stock are unnecessarialy pricey, however, so I can only give them 3/5 stars.
The staff here is nice - The one girl who works there is cute, so that is a "thumbs-up" in my book as well ;-)
Happy Boating!
