A quick fill in on the time in Victoria:
The couple of days spent in Victoria were nice, the be able to enjoy the city some, and to complete some final tweaks to boat preparationand organization. Plus it allowed for some additional time to meet other racers, with many not quite as busy compared to Port Townsend. But some of the final mods included an LED stern light installation, a better tie down system in the v-berth, and sewing of velcro pockets by Carol. Thank you Carol!
Victoria is a fun city, easy to walk to attractions like the museum and the lively city center from the inner harbor docks.
