Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - While the largest slide in human memory occurred only months ago, local historian Judith Williams says Bute Inlet lets loose all the time. In the podcast above she talks about a slide in the 1860s, another in the 70's and how debris from the most recent slide appears to have reached Cortes Island.
Williams has a special connection to Bute Inlet, which was the setting of her most recent book.
She also talks about its importance as a source of what some experts are already calling the 'oil of the future': water.
