Busy Harbour

The camp site in Victoria overlooks the harbour.  There is no real need to set an alarm clock because the harbour is also the local airport with commuting flights to Vancouver and Seattle starting from about 7am.

Crossing the harbour in one of the water taxis is not generally hazardous apart from the fact that they do have to give way to the regular aircraft taking off and landing.  Amidst this bustle of activity there are plenty of other things to be seen if you keep your eyes open.  In the trees opposite the campsite there are bald eagles which come and go to regular perches.

and the are a few otters around as well - but more of them later.
