In a previous article, "Peter Duniho" said:
"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message . com... I'm looking for something relaxing and quiet but with some light activities for a young family (my kids are 8 and 9). Perhaps the Nanaimo area? Would I be better off just going to Victoria Island? Do Nanaimo is also on Vancouver Island. Victoria is the city. Vancouver Island is the island. To further complicate things, the airport is actually north of Victoria, in Sidney, BC. [snip] If you do wind up driving on Vancouver Island, you might think about heading up the southwestern coast to Sprout Lake (near Port Alberni) to visit the Martin Mars water bomber operation. It's Sproat Lake, not Sprout Lake. Last time I was there, several years ago, there was nothing much to see of the "operation", but I did paddle a canoe up pretty close to one of the Mars. They are HUGE! -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ It's fun to mock old people. They're going to die soon anyway. -- Mike Sphar
