LTV Kozad: Cruising North America's Highways & Byways: First Ride To Vancouver Island

Langley to Vancouver Island

We picked up the LTV from the dealer and headed to the BC Ferry Terminal at Tsawassen headed for Victoria to visit our son Jim and girlfriend Cass for the weekend. Then headed up Island visiting good friends along the way!

Surprisingly the ferry cost for our LTV Unity was only $113.75 which is only $24.40 more than if we were to travel in our car!

Ferry Ride To Victoria

WestBay Marina and RV Park

Victoria Inner Harbour

We stayed on the Esquimalt Side of Victoria Inner Harbour at the West Bay Marina, Float Home and RV Park. We love staying in Victoria and this RV site is a gem. Even though it is a wee bit tight, the location and views out weigh the close quarters.

Melissa, the front desk staff member, was very professional and told us about the Rib Festival which was within walking distance from the RV Park. We met our son Jim, Cass was working, and taste tested two of the four competitors! Great BBQ Ribs....

Jim & Jan - Rib Fest

The Chalk Fest was also on the same weekend we were in Victoria. Artists as far away from California were on hand (and knees) to display their talents.

While in Victoria we do a lot of walking and love to go to Fisherman's Wharf. There are a couple of seals and an otter which hang around for free meals!

While walking the Government Docks infront of the Empress Hotel we saw Willard 40 "MV Northstar"! Our good friends Richard and Gwen own Northstar but were on a 4 month cross continent trip in their LTV Unity 24 twin bed motorhome. Their boat Northstar was being chartered while they were out land cruising!
