Marin Bašić
a harbor town on the Dalmatian Coast, Croatia
Marin Bašić grew up near the Adriatic Sea, surrounded by the salty air of the Dalmatian coast. His father was a fisherman, and Marin learned early on to value the crafts that keep seafaring communities running smoothly. The auto body shop he now runs was once a wooden boat repair shed where he spent his childhood summers, whales of laughter echoing as he learned to patch with reliability and love.
