REI
You may want to bring your hiking and mountaineering paraphernalia just to traverse this mecca of outdoor gear. REI - which stands for Recreational Equipment, Inc. - has become the place to go for outdoor enthusiasts of every shape and size. No matter how you choose to converse with nature, REI can outfit you for your experience. And, not only does REI have thousands of items for you to choose from, but they also offer lots of free advice. There are free clinics on everything from in-line skating to exploring Antarctica, and the REI website has a handy assortment of articles that inform surfers on such topics as repairing old hiking boots and fly-fishing etiquette. If you're not in the market to buy, REI has a full gear rental service. And, if you're not quite ready to part with your old gear, the REI repair shop can probably help breathe some new life into it. Inclement weather got you down? Come down to the store anyway and enjoy the prefab hiking trails and climbing wall.

ARMCHAIR SAILOR
The Armchair Sailor deals primarily in items that make up the cerebral side of sailing: Books, charts, and instruments. The expansive book inventory covers everything from fictional nautical classics to informative guides on celestial navigation, and cruising cooking skills. Most impressive, though, is the global chart coverage that is available in either electronic or paper form. In addition to books, the Armchair Sailor also rents videos, sells and repairs nautical clocks and instruments, and carries marine art and galley items. The knowledgeable staff is enthusiastic and eager to talk with customers, and all have cruising experience.
