'Adventures' in Northwest

Gary Sprinkle's Award-winning eco-adventure show "Pacific Adventures" tomorrow night takes viewers to the San Juan Islands, Wash., where he explores the area by boat, kayak, and airplane.

The KITV News show airs at 7:30 p.m. and will be rebroadcast on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Sprinkle, KITV anchor weekdays at 5 p.m., features orcas and the work of Dr. Astrid van Ginneken, who has been studying the mammals for more than a dozen years.

Along with photographer Stuart Ishikawa, Sprinkle kayaks the coastline and hikes on San Juan Island, home to a large population of alpaca, a llama look-alike from South America.

There's also a visit to an oyster farm at Westcott Bay. The Northwest has some of the cleanest water in the United States making it ideal for raising the shellfish.
