...wonder where all that junk from last year's tsunami went? A lot of it sank near coastal Japan.

Still more is caught in currents far off shore and may take on a life unknown, but still more has just begun washing up on the beaches and shores, tidelands here and in Canada.

Proof?

Japanese official inspects Neah Bay flotsam

By The Associated Press

PORT ANGELES, Wash. An official from the Japanese consulate in Seattle has visited the home of a Port Angeles man to inspect a large black float he found near Neah Bay to determine if it's some of the first debris from the tsunami that hit Japan last March.

Sounds like lotza flotzom to come our way. I'd say every piece
found we (The GPNW) could send back to Japan in a return "Great
Tsumani" like back in the 1700's when a great quake happened
in the GPNW that sent Tsunami's all over the Asian coastlines.
Pretty sure I might die in the next "big-one" earthquake in the GPNW

Uke, research is needed. I'm asking Uke, did they paint this a different color for this pic? Was it photoshopped? Can we expect more BLACK floats to wash up on western shores?

And Uke, the headline read "Japanese official inspects Neah Bay flotsam." To go along with *Cy's* query, and at the risk of being accused of profiling, that "official" looked to be about as asian as that float looked black. Just sayin...

 It depends on how black your asking.

It is now painted more black than white... Yes and Yes

We've just learned that the gentleman holding that float is a Neah Bay resident, and a tribal member of the Makah.

The Makah (play /mk/, from the Klallam name for the tribe, màqáa)[1] are a Native American people from the northwestern corner of the continental United States in Washington. The Makah tribe lives in and around the town of Neah Bay, Washington, a small fishing village along the Strait of Juan de Fuca where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Their reservation on the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula includes Tatoosh Island. The Makah people refer to themselves as "Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx" (Qidiaa·t) which translates as "the people who live by the rocks and seagulls".[1][2] Linguistically and ethnographically, they are closely related to the Nuu-chah-nulth and Ditidaht peoples of the West Coast of Vancouver Island across the Strait of Juan de Fuca in British Columbia.

We're investigating BD. And as soon as results are available, we'll publish the truth (As we determine it to be) right here at BurningJournaldotcom.

And thanks for your note!

I've been to Neah Bay several times. You have to pass through
Neah Bay to reach "Cape Flattery", the very most NW point of
the United States. I snorted a couple lines and walked out to
as far as the trail extended. The very tip of the trail over-
looking the Pacific Ocean is breath-taking. That was over
30-years ago I did that. Never made it back since.

That sounds like something I would do. Of course it would be
"line-free" now.
