The day we left Victoria also happened to be the day of the 2018 Victoria Dragon Boat Festival in Victoria Harbour. The dragon boats began racing at 8:00 a.m. and would continue all day until about 4:30 p.m., so getting out of Causeway Floats between a race (every 11 minutes) took a little bit of planning with harbour security.

We got instructions and an escort for part of the way across the harbour and then continued out of the harbour the normal way (keeping close to the big yellow buoys) and then headed for Anacortes.
