February through May, 2013 – Tauranga, New Zealand
I was that (somewhat old) kid in the candy store at Steve’s Marine. There’s a very good marine store in Opua, called Cater Marine, so I wasn’t all that marine-store deprived, but Steve’s really got my blood pumping. Among all that stuff – tons and tons of boat stuff – there must be a bunch of things I want (and maybe even need.) Ah, there’s nothing better than boat-related retail therapy for this cruiser.
And it’s not just the great stock that makes Steve’s special. Everyone who works there is so friendly and helpful. Thank you Steve’s Marine! See you all soon. -Rich
