Deuces Wild…
Victoria’s Northwest Deuce Days is the world’s largest gathering of iconic 1932 Fords — called Deuces.
Started in 1998, the ever popular Northwest Deuce Days takes place every three years in Victoria’s Iconic Inner Harbour. This year the classic car owners are from all over North American and as far away as New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and Finland. Local and international spectators have the unique opportunity to view 1,300 spectacular pre-1952 collector vehicles, over 500 of which are Deuces.
2025 will mark the 11th edition of Northwest Deuce Days and this highly anticipated four day event promises to impress as attendees admire classic cars, meet their owners and witness their passion first hand.

We had great weather this weekend, and the turnout for The 45th Classic Boat Festival was superb. What a treat for the Cruise ship patrons to stumble upon.

Had a blast. Love was in the air, eye candy was everywhere. The Victoria Parliament Buildings alway make a dramatic backdrop.

I think I heard 40,000 spectators.

2022-10-24 – The Time Has Finally Come

So this is me (Bob) packed and ready to hit the dusty trail once again. Bring to lighten the load with two carry-on size bags. Still seems like too much.

Last time we were in South East Asia was February 2016, that’s 6 years and 9 months. I hope we can remember how to speak some Thai.

We fly out of Victoria at 10:00am on Thursday, October 27, transit Vancouver and board Air Canada to Tokyo. After a 3hr 25min layover we board ANA to Bangkok.

We have timed the escape seeming quite well… after a very dry, warm and sunny fall… the forecast is for one of those atmospheric rivers to come roaring in as we leave.

Stay tuned…

2022-08-13 – Richard & Lisa, Gibsons

This wedding was originally scheduled for August 2019, but “The Situation” got in the way.

Richard and Lisa’s meticulous planning and attention to detail came together… the result was spectacular. This was the BEST wedding we’ve attended.

The venue for the service, was Bill & Trudene’s fabulous Gibsons home and garden. 135 guests enjoyed appys and beverages to light jazz in the cascading garden over looking the vast views of Howe Sound.

The ceremony had all seated on the lower lawn with the wedding party descending the stairs under clear blue skies.

All guests were then shuttled to The Lazy Dog Farm where marquees, a dance floor and seating for all were in a white fenced paddock strung with endless stings of lights.

The speeches were a highlight, with humour and heart felt love, punctuated during any pauses by the large white tom turkey in the chicken run in one corner. Gobble Gobble.
