A boston sailing friend.. whom I have lost track of once told me that
there was a cordage manufacturer near Logan that sold "blemish" and
ends at good discounts. Anyone know where this might be?

West Marine years ago was based in Boston in one of the warehouses
adjacent to Logan. They sold cordage, including discount inventory.
They moved to CA quite a few years ago, though. Perhaps your friend is
thinking of this, or there's maybe a new outfit around.

Sounds like it might be the place... same West Marine that just opened
a place on 1A (Peaabody?)?

Yup. They moved lock, stock and barrel to CA, and have since enjoyed
enough growth that they're re-establishing retail outlets in various
places along each coast. Mail order is still through the CA HQ.

re .2
This is the first I heard of a West Marine Store in Peabody. Can I ask
you to post directions to the new store? It happens I was planning to
visit Marine Exchange soon and may also want to stop at this store.
Thx, Bob

| 1918.5 | directions to West Marine, Peabody | KALI::VACON | Fri Aug 28 1992 09:07 | 14 | |
Directions to West Marine Store, Peabody:
If proceeding from Boston, get on Rt 1 North. When Rt 1 and Rt 95
split in Peabody (or Danvers), not sure, stay on old Rt 1. You'll
go down a hill, and up the other side. Its on top of the hill, North
bound side.
If proceeding south on Rt 95, get off on Rt 1 South in Danvers. Go by
the Marine Exchange, and turn around first opportunity (I believe this
will be the underpass in Saugus, just past Town Line House. Then use
directions above.
