For fans of television's Emmy-winning Boston Legal, the antics of characters Alan Shore (James Spader) and Denny Crane (William Shatner) provide a weekly glimpse into the lives of fast-paced attorneys in one of the United States's oldest cities.
But even working professionals require a little on-screen down time. Enter B.C.'s Nimmo Bay (www.nimmobay.com), a gem of a resort nestled off the coast of Vancouver Island's northernmost tip.
When Nimmo was featured as the vacation destination of choice for the legal eagles in a December 2004 episode, viewers were granted a taste of the province's scenic shores, fertile fishing scapes, and even a view from within the cozy confines of the resort itself.
The experience led Shatner's character to remark: "Nimmo Bay is the best fishing resort in the world, and I want to buy it."
So, it seems fitting that the prime-time program chose to wrap its fifth and final season in December 2008 with scenes that once again featured the beautiful B.C. bay.
To commemorate the occasion, Nimmo Bay has fashioned some off-screen fun for the masses: from July 16 to October 20, 2009, guests can experience Nimmo Bay Resort firsthand with the "Exclusively Yours" Boston Legal Adventure package.
This getaway will provide visitors an opportunity to shine their lines amid pristine B.C. rivers that both Shatner's and Spader's characters explored (which are also the same waters favoured by the show's writer and producer, avid fly fisherman David E. Kelley).
During three adventure-filled days, guests will also sample a taste of fresh, coastal cuisine before settling in for four-star comfort.
