Moorage in Victoria?

Hi,

We're heading for Victoria next week in Far Cove and wondering where's
the best place to dock for a night or two? Oak Bay marina looks a bit far
from downtown - are there reasonable docks right in Inner Harbour? Do we
need/can we get reservations?

Thanks, Peter!

Are these docks Govt ("public")? Any amenities (shore power, water,
showers...)? How crowded are they on a typical summer day?
