Once upon a time, there was a strong and funny sailor named Popeye Pete. He had one squinty eye, big muscles, and a pipe that made funny noises when he talked. Popeye Pete loved sailing the seas and helping anyone in trouble. One day, after many adventures across the oceans, he sailed to the beautiful Coromandel Coast. There he found a cosy spot at 144 Thames Coast Road, Whakatete Bay, where he and his best friend Olive May would stay between voyages.

With his spinach-fuelled strength, Popeye Pete could lift ships, calm storms, and bring Olive May the finest treasures from the sea - fresh fish caught right off 'Popeye's Corner, a place kiwi kids would remember for generations. Olive May would smile and thank her hero, and Popeye Pete would give a cheeky wink before sailing off into the golden sunset, humming his happy tune.
