Yesterday, I went looking at marinas in Victoria. It seems that a lot of them have waiting lists, though I found a spot at Oak Bay marina (non-liveaboard though).
My current plan is to haul the boat out of the water in the boatyard in Sidney, probably for 3 weeks to a month, so I’m not in any great rush.
I saw these seals, who apparently know whats up (whats up is hanging around a marina, safe from predators while getting fed by tourists)
