Thought a few around here would find this interesting...

A beachcomber on B.C.'s Haida Gwaii islands (Canada) has discovered what may be the first piece of debris from the Japanese tsunami to arrive in Canada...
It's not a Spyder, but I did not know a Harley would float....;)

Yup, that's a good one. Our biggest so far has been a derelict fishing trawler that ended up by Sitka. I believe the Coast Guard took some target practice on that one. Other debris is now arriving regularly.

Does that stuff arrive in quantities large-enough to screw up the shipping lanes, or it just an annoyance?

At the moment, It appears to be more of an annoyance. We sure don't need another Exxon Valdez type incident.

The owner of the Harley has been located, and his dealer has offered to restore the bike. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17927045
