[Paddlewise] Spanish Victoria

Doug: Your posting of the unfortunate April 13th incident reawakens my
curiosity about your local waters. Who the hell was Juan de Fuca? Is there a
good source of information about the Spanish exploration of the Pacific NW?
And while we're getting historical, what sort of boats did the local Native
Americans use around Victoria? How far south did kayak use go?
