pickle boats

Victoria

just as Venice has its gondolas and vaporettos, so Victoria has a fleet of water taxis, known locally as Pickle Boats...that colloquial name may be a reference to the Pub Crawl Tour they also offer

These little guys couldn't make the grade as tugboats, but at least they found careers as pickle boats.

Lovely and colourful...I like the contrast between all the elements here - sea, sky, water, house boats and high-rise

I would love to cruising around on one of those, especially near sunset. Great shot and information. ~BV~

The color scheme sure grabs the attention. Hmm, a pub crawl on water. V

A very less boat!

A lovely and fun scene, the yellow and checker paint design sure says "taxi."

How cool - look more fun than the Vancouver ones. !!

Love the colorful homes and the paint job on the taxi.

So colourful and well-maintained - notwistanding the pub crawl.

Great shot of this unusual looking boat. Interestingly named, too.

It is delightful to see all of this color!
This is an image that one can really enjoy!

Like the look of the pickle boat with the yellow and checkers like a NYC cab. Nice with the floating houses in the background.
