   That doesn't work.  There are two major ferry runs from Nanaimo, one   
   from downtown to north of Vancouver and one from ten miles out or so   
   to south of Vancouver.  Butchart Gardens are in Victoria, which has   
   ferries connecting to south of Vancouver.   
      
   There is no point in running a ferry connecting Nanaimo to Victoria.
