Coast Guard Auxiliary getting ready to escort Tenuks founder Quinn Barabash in the first leg of his 32 km swim through the Skookumchuck Narrows.
Tenuks founder Quinn Barabash swims the entire length of Sechelt inlet (32 km in 14 hours) to restore a run of pacific salmon that was destroyed in the 1950's by a hydro-dam. A mighty challenge for a great cause. Quinn feels that instead of further destroying fish bearing streams we should be focusing our efforts on restoring the ones we have already destroyed. Eco-tourism can boost the economy too.
