How is the oil spill going to effect your boating?

They say it'll hit FL.... hopefully they're wrong

Still waiting....Got some Destin, FL trips planned....Some of them late in the summer.

Yea it stinks, we are suppose to be in Destin for a week starting June 20, we can't decide what to do. We have until the 20th of this month to cancel and get our money back.

They have already put a boom across the Bay entering the Gulf of Mexico so for now we are confined to the small river. I also have made vacation plans for two trips to Florida.

I live on the gulf. Well let me clarify I live 30 mins from there ,and this is where we hang out alot during the summer. It is all doom and gloom business wise for the fishing/seafood industry here.
There really is not much for boating here other than the back bays and intercoastal.

My cousin, lives in Mississippi, bought a boat but cant get it home, the waterways are closed

I mentioned to the SWMBO about a big upside down funnel the catch the escaping oil and divert it to a barge with separation capabilities! Then, on the news, they mention just that kind of trap supposed to get 85% of the leak and fill tankers in the meantime while they drill the shutoff well. Perhaps they can capture more than 85% with a couple of these. Said to be ready in 6 to 8 days, fingers crossed!

If it gets to the Gulf Stream the whole Atlantic Seaboard will be at risk. Let's hope those funnels work...

i was wondering about the Destin PR in august today myself
