I've been reading some articles lately on the possible effects of a hurricane hitting that area at this time - suffice to say the prospect of billowing, foamy brown waves of sludge being pushed inland in a hurricane's "storm surge" is a pretty scary thought - and would multiply the environmental effects even more.

Who thinks the Offshore racing season will finish on time? When the oil gets into the Florida Straits this month it will shoot up the east coast in a hurry. We'll be in Pompano in early August for vacation. I hope it will not have gotten that far by then...

Sounds like a great time for a Kilo run... nothing like a little lubrication to cut down on drag...

Yeah you go right ahead. If you don't know how to clean oil off fiberglass you better learn.

Thanks for that link GD. Look at the spread on May 8, see that hugs eastern bulge? The next day it was gone poof! How could something that big disappear unless it sank down close to the sea floor??

"A cap placed over the gusher was collecting only a fraction of the oil, which had stained beaches with a waxy mess of tar balls and created an usual orange foam in the surf.
In Gulf Shores, Ala., wooden boardwalks leading to beachfront hotels are spotted with oil from beachgoers' feet, and some condominiums were providing solvents for guests smeared with the brown goo. At Pensacola Beach, the retreating high tide left an orange stain in its wake.
Erin Tamber moved to the beach area after surviving Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, where she had lived for 30 years.
"I feel like I've gone from owning a piece of paradise to owning a toxic waste dump," she said as she inspected the beach Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama pledged Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address to fight the spill with the people of the Gulf Coast. His words for oil giant BP PLC were stern: "We will make sure they pay every single dime owed to the people along the Gulf coast."
Thus far, BP has failed to significantly stem the worst spill in U.S. history. The government's point man for the crisis, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, guessed early Friday that the cap was collecting 42,000 gallons a day — less than one-tenth of the amount leaking from the well. Later in the day, BP said in a tweet that since it was installed Thursday night, it had collected about 76,000 gallons."

Deepwater Horizon Employee: "Are You F%*^ing Happy? The Rig's On Fire! I Told You This Was Gonna Happen!"

Harsh words from an employee who happened to be on the Deepwater Horizon rig when it blew up back on April 20th.

Mother Jones discusses how lawyer Tony Buzbee has obtained a signed statement from a sailor who was rescuing workers from the disaster. What they said is beyond belief. Seriously.

The sailor, who Buzbee refuses to name for fear of costing him his job, was on the ship's bridge when Deepwater Horizon installation manager Jimmy Harrell, a top employee of rig owner Transocean, was speaking with someone in Houston via satellite phone. Buzbee told Mother Jones that, according to this witness account, Harrell was screaming, "Are you ****ing happy? Are you ****ing happy? The rig's on fire! I told you this was gonna happen."

Whoever was on the other end of the line was apparently trying to calm Harrell down. "I am ****ing calm," he went on, according to Buzbee. "You realize the rig is burning?"

At that point, the boat's captain asked Harrell to leave the bridge. It wasn't clear whether Harrell had been talking to Transocean, BP, or someone else.

Yes, this is a really sad issue. I feel very sad when I hear about this topic. So many waterways are closed. I really hope they can recover it somehow. Praying for this
