Lisa and I will be there! Prefer Labor Day but the weekend of the 24th is good too. I will be bringing the Knotty C and Lisa will likely travel by ferry. Sounds like the Causeway and Wharf St might both be booked on LD. We are both looking forward to Victoria.

I received a reply from Thora Brooks, reservation specialist at Victoria harbor.
In short
= there is a non refundable reservation fee to reserve space at either dock. 105$ (can) for up to 12 boats, 157.50$ for 10-20 boats. This charge is separate from the moorage fees. The Reservation fee I suggest can be taken out of the C-brat Kitty.
=Moorage rates, no group discount on moorage, just a group discount for reservation of space. Moorage at the Causeway marina in front of the empress hotel is 1.80$ per foot. The Wharf Marina is 1.60$ per foot . Again Canadian….. (I love that their money called loonies and toonies)
=Dates August 22nd through 25th at the causeway marina and Wharf marina, both are Available now for a group booking.
or
=August 29th through Sept 2nd at the Wharf Marina. The Causeway is booked up with the Classic Boat Festival so only the Wharf st marina is available this weekend. Also The Wharf st marina will be rafted up so power and space are limited.
She recommends the first choice, Aug. 22-25 as they do have lots of space and with power at this time at both marinas. She also recommend that we pay the reservation fee for the up to 12 boats and if more boats come last minute they call in individually to reserve, or the group fee goes up to $157.50 for up to 20 vessels. or they may not even need to reserve as I got the impression that the have a policy of rafting up boats no matter what. Which is fine for cdory to cdory. Not sure I like rafting to a sail boat as we have a dog ,and some will want power. I will address that again with here when we pick a date. May be another plus for reserving the date of aug 22nd-25th.
They have a 48hr cancellation policy so changes to any booking can be made 48hrs before the arrival with no penalties. Any late change/cancellation penalties are one nights moorage fees. For this reason they do ask for credit card details from each vessel owner
They have a washroom/shower/laundry facility next to the old customs dock, about 5mins walk from the Causeway. They are open 24/7 with your code. Public washrooms are closer on the Causeway but they close at sunset.
I am leaning towards the date of august 22, but could entertain the weekend after Labor day. If we go with labor day I need to make reservations now and only at the wharf marina. ... which can be done.

We have a family wedding to attend in Colorado in mid-August; another also in Colorado just a few weeks later so we will probably just stay there in between and will have to miss the Victoria gathering. Victoria is one of our favorite places and we know those who are able to go will have a good time. _________________ Patti and Barry

Labor Day weekend is out for[i]Daydream[/], that is when the Hamilton family visits Birch Bay and our grandkids get to frolic on the beach, take long walks and fly kites! Harper will probably try the waterslides, she will be big enough this year. _________________

Just wanted to Bring this up to the front, especially since there are some C-brats at the cathelamet gathering that are considering going to Victoria.
we are leaning towards August 22-24th. I plan to make the reservation next weds or Thursday.
so chime in if you are interested in going . I needs to make a decision on how many boats to reserve at the Wharf marina.
thanks
