A modern Victoria Queen

10-12 August

We left Vancouver which was realy beautiful and we reached Victoria City in Vancouver Island. It is known as the "Monaco of Canada", the most luxurious place in British Columbia! After two days of sailing, mostly with the engine, and a night in Ganges Port we entered the last station before the big journey. Everything gone well, it was an easy trip even with the rain we had the first day.

So far I have got a good taste of Canada. There are three things in huge abundancy here:
1) Space: every scenery you look at is huge, either at sea or land.
2) Wood: there are millions of trees here providing wood useful for anything except eating.
3) Berries: blackberries, strawberries, greenberries, blueberries etc and the people are obsessed with them.

I am going to collect a new "sailing wisdom" everyday during this 2-week trip. The ones for the first two days are:
1) In the land comfort is an option, in the sea it is a necessity.
2) The depth of the seas is the mirror of the land.
