Re: Victoria

Victoria is a beautiful place and I wish them luck in going forward with this proposal. Although, I believe the concept was hatched back when the US Dollar had a 15 – 20% mark up on our Canadian one, today our money’s at par and our fuel costs substantially more expensive.
That and the current US economic situation will have an impact on permanent berth requirements up North with the US Recreational Yachtsman.
I assume/hope they will try to “pre-sell” prior to going forward.

Here in the “big smoke” our new, under construction ($900 Million ++++) Convention Centre will have a new SuperYacht marina attached to it.
This should be a good incentive for the Big Boys to weigh anchor from English Bay and come Downtown.
