Victoria Cruising Club Plans Busy Summer

Summer Fun

Apr 25, 2024

The Victoria Cruising Club is a group of people that enjoy the active boating lifestyle in a club with low dues and high social interaction. We include all kinds of sail and power boats and like to welcome a few new members each year.

Around 1970 the Club’s name was changed to the “Victoria Cruising Club”. The Club bylaws limit the number of Active Members such that there is a maximum of seventy five boats (owner and mate – so about 150 people) plus any boats of Honorary Life Members. Active members who retire from boating can become Associate Members and continue their social relationships with the Club.

If your boat is resident in the southern part of Vancouver Island (south of North Cowichan) and you would like to get involved in our club, check the club’s website Victoriacruisingclub.com.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
