Kayakers like to play in a liquid environment, so we should all be paddling pell-mell for a liquidation sale that's going on at Maine Mountain Works.

Owners Kelly Fernald and Todd Forsyth are locking up their outdoors shop at 311 Marginal Way in Portland and will henceforth concentrate on selling soft goods from their 100 Commercial Street location.

"We're closing the doors and simplifying our lives," Todd told me when I checked out the sale on Tuesday.

Big savings on kayaks and paddling gear. Figure boats themselves running in the $500 range for rotomolded poly to $2,000 for hand-laid fiberglass.

Kayaks are among the hundreds of items being liquidated as Maine Mountain Works closes its 311 Marginal Way location in Portland.

Big discounts on little stuff too, from tents and sleeping bags down to bailing sponges.
