OK, forget the spy, though West Marine's flagship Connecticut store does carry some nifty electronics - navigational aids and fish finders among them.
When it comes to serving those who live and play on the water, the new 25,000-square-foot store at 1667 Boston Post Road appears to have it all. And if it doesn't, it promises to get it.
The full breadth of West Marine's merchandise was on display Thursday, the start of the store's grand-opening celebration, which continues through Sunday. The bounty included more than 150 high-tech electronics; an on-site boat show featuring Connecticut-area dealers and on-the-water demonstrations at nearby Saybrook Point Inn and Marina; more than 500 rods, reels and other fishing gear; paddleboards; kayaks; outboard engines; wireless man-overboard systems; and voluminous sailing and apparel sections.
