Nanaimo harbor was the scene of a bathtub race extravaganza at the first race in 1967. As the City of NANAIMO's "Centennial Event" that year, close to 200 tubbers entered the fun competition and amazingly, 47 completed the 36 mile course to Vancouver's Fisherman's Cove across the straits of Georgia. Now the "Great Race" finishes at Departure Bay in Nanaimo covering what can be a very grueling course that leaves Nanaimo harbor circles Entrance Island and then up to and around Winchelsea Island and then back to Nanaimo. In the early days it was indeed a challenge to get past the starting line in the choppy confusion caused by an extra 785 small and large observations and escort boats in Nanaimo harbor.
