I have mentioned before that sometimes it seems to me that living in Victoria is like living in a big theme park. Not surprisingly, given the watery nature of the city, the main theme is nautical. Here's one of the "rides" that sails out Fisherman's Wharf regularly in the summer with a cargo of children. They sail around the Inner Harbour and generally seem to have a piratical good time. Find out more on their website http://www.pirateadventures.ca/Victoria/.

Situated on the far west coast of Canada, on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria is the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. Its benign climate (the warmest winters in Canada) and placid lifestyle make it a favorite retirement location as well as a popular tourist destination. About 400,000 people live in Victoria and adjacent communities.

Funny you should be making this observation, because just last Friday, music producer David Foster was recognized as a native son of Victoria with the naming of a walkway in his honour. At the unveiling ceremony, he noted that his wife, when seeing the beautiful Victoria inner hrabour for the first time, remarked that he "grew up in Disneyland".
Remember, to err is human, to arr is pirate. :D
