Four Wayward Crew in Victoria

Fortunately for us, Tom has spent a lot of time in Victoria during the many times he has picked up boats here in the past. So we follow his lead, making our way from one pub and restaurant to another. In between breakfast, lunch and dinner we did some shopping, all the while trying to stay dry in the heavy rain.

On The Town, MGM 1949

On The Town, MGM 1949

It reminded me of the 1949 movie On The Town with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra about  three sailors on leave in New Your City.  They were in town for 24hrs with nothing much to do except get into trouble. But the vision fell apart when I remembered we all cannot dance. Given the heavy rains, maybe I should have chosen the other great Gene Kelly movie Singin' in the Rain as a better metaphor.

YachtPath is ever obtuse in their communication and asks that we stay on high alert, ready to off-load the boats. We continued on with our exploration of Victoria, knowing that nothing was going to happen today.

Again after dinner and after our persistent calls requesting an update, we were told that we would be offloading OceanFlyer tomorrow morning and LadyJane/Telita early afternoon.
