Welcome to the WestCoast,the temp is currently 12c with moderate winds ,seas are calm with 30-60cm waves.Enjoy your stay ,but safety first.
And if you pass through Nanoose Bay ,I'll be the one waving
I used to live in Victoria so heres a few words of wadeom.Esquimalt(where the Naval Base is located) is the low-life/high crime area, so be warned.Government Street is where the ladies of the evening hang out after dark(note: they aren't all ladies
).There are several nudie bars (or at least there was ) Monty's (downtown)and The RedLion a cab ride away.All in all its pretty touristy but tasteful.
Enjoy.
Note : I would have mentioned Butchart Gardens ,The Royal Provincial Museum ,Wax museum ,Under Sea Garden (aquarium like) ,but you'll be with you Navy Buddies .If wanting to Impress any Females ,Butchart Gardens
