Johnstone Strait, British Columbia

Out For Adventure has sea kayak guides in the area of the Johnstone Strait oil spill.
As of earlier today the slick has spread to a reported 14 kilometres long along the Vancouver Island shore. Out For Adventure's Orca Base Camp is located on the opposite side of the strait and so far has been unaffected by the spill. Killer whales have been in the area since the spill with a reported 50 whales having swam through the slick last night and today

Sea Kayak Base Camp Report

OFA Base Camp guide Matt Rowley reports that the slick has also moved on to the North side of Johnstone Strait against Hanson Island and that some large ships have been in the area today working on cleanup. There has been some media visiting the area by aircraft throughout the day, but Rowley and his group managed to avoid the situation and meet up with Killer Whales near Cracroft Point for a good sea kayak whale encounter, and he says that the oil spill is not affecting the OFA Orca Base Camp.

Heightened Awareness Required

This unfortunate event heightens the need for environmental awareness, and may be a call to action for more controls on how and where dangerous cargo is shipped in this sensitive area.
There is still a chance to join a sea kayaking tour for our Orca Base Camp to experience the Killer Whales and witness first hand what is going on while this event unfolds.
Out For Adventure Ltd. expedition leader - Jim Martin confirms that OFA's Johnston Strait sea kayaking tours are running as scheduled for the balance of 2007.

August 30 2007
According to recent media reports our government has decided that it is ok to just leave the oil tanker with it's payload of almost 10,000 litres of oil at the bottom of the ocean as well as all the heavy equipment that was dropped off the barge. Some environmental groups are demanding that the wreck site be examined and action taken but so far - nothing.
The oil seems to have dissipated and not immediately obvious but the question again rises. Is this enough?

A barge tipped over in Johnstone Strait near the Robson Bight Ecological reserve on Monday spilling machinery including a tanker filled with diesel fuel into about 350 meters of water.
