Looks like West Marine is going to declare bankruptcy

Kind of a Big Deal - In My Mind Anyway

Never cared for their high prices, lack of knowledgeable help and weird inventory mix. While this does take away another option if your need is immediate, I for one will not miss them. I suppose the whole Amazon convenience thing didn't help.

I stick with Freeport Marine as my primary chandlery, followed by Fred Chall, and then local-to-me Blue Marlin Marine here in Seaford. The owner's son at Freeport Marine helped get me out of a very tight jam years ago and I've never forgotten that kindness. Good guy. Great inventory - helpful staff.
 
I could never figure out why anyone shopped there they had stupid pollicies about pricing if I had to check out everybody elses pricing to get the best price why would I not just get the item where I found the best price.
