Boat show
By Tracy Ubell, SunCruiser Boating
As we shake off the cobwebs after a long winter, our thoughts turn to outdoor activities. Boaters and water lovers rejoice as the sun warms the air, and blinds the eyes as it reflects off the water. Boat shows will tempt you with the newest offerings, and festivals and racing will be taking place all over our beautiful province.
If you've never owned a boat, but are thinking about investing in one, take in a boat show. Below you'll find three taking place this month, in Victoria, Vernon and Anacortes. If you're interested in dragon boats, their season is just getting started. We have two events for May, but there will be many more in the coming months. Watch our Events column for upcoming festivals and races.
As in the past, I've gathered information for boating events and festivals taking place all over BC, but locating these events on the www can be hit and miss, so I'm asking for your help. If you have, or know of, a boat show or festival coming up this summer, send us the details and we will add it to our event calendar.
