The Oil Free Seas Flotilla at the site where oil giant Anadarko intends to start drilling. The site is over 100 nautical miles off the west coast of New Zealand, and in waters around a kilometre and a half deep. Photo taken from the mast of Baltazar. Clockwise, starting at bottom left corner: Friendship, Tiama, Vega, Ratbag and Shearwater II. A floating banner reads 'Stop Deep Sea Oil'. The Oil Free Seas Flotilla is a coalition of individuals and boat owners who oppose deep-sea drilling and the new legislation that takes away New Zealanders long-standing right to peacefully protest at sea.
