James Bay is the name for Victoria's inner harbor, the urban saltwater pond out in front of the Empress Hotel. I got to enjoy it from the holding pen inside U.S. Customs, waiting for the M.V. Coho to arrive and from the deck of the Coho once it did arrive.
The bay was buzzing with activity (imagine what summertime would be like). Water taxis, tour boats, seaplanes, kayaks, and occasional pleasure boats. Crowds chanted for the buskers below the Empress and the music of street musicians echoed off the wall behind the waterfront promenade.
