Set and Drift

Set and drift are the navigator's terms for a current: the direction it carries you, and how fast. This is a show about the currents under the things you can see from shore around Anacortes and the Salish Sea. Why a tug follows some tankers and not others. Why the crab season opens when it does. Why the state is tearing up a road culvert that looked fine. Each episode takes one question, follows it to the mechanism underneath, says plainly where the evidence runs out, and ends with something you can go look at yourself. Roughly fifteen minutes, scripted, no chat.
