The Steveston Lifeboat

Based in Victoria. It's an absolutely beautiful boat! And all wooden ... a few brass bits here and there ... where brass is important. Prettiest boat on the Salish Sea.

But really, any boat that comes to save your life is pretty, isn't it.

And can you see the crew all decked out in their whites? Sat down there in the galley? Arms thrust forth? There were empty cups on the end of those arms. I saw them. And the table was covered in bottles of rum!

Fortunately, it's not on duty at the mo'. No, it's docked in the Harbour for the Wooden Boat Show.

Boat's polished, crew's skunked.
