My readers are the best sources for what is happening:

I’m in the sound on the boat right now directly across from the ranger station. There is globs (a lot) of thick oil floating around. I’m talking a lot of oil. There is one cleanup crew out there and they’re sitting in their boat doing absolutely nothing!!!

—

We just returned from the bay towards Ft. Pickens. We headed towards the pass and found thick oil in a continuous line like a tide line. The clean up efforts were absent and jet skis and boaters were blasting through it and around it. I’d say it’s less than a mile from our dock to the pass. We’re at the last dock on the island, closest to Pickens and the pass. I think it would be prudent to place a moratorium personal watercraft and boat traffic not involved in the clean up effort.
