San Francisco fuel spill

[Snowflake]

Well, it is a gloppy mess and our Dungeness Crab season is in danger of being cancelled because of this snafu. Not to mention the mess and all the wildlife that has been affected and I'm wondering about any drift southward in the bay to the wetlands down the pennisula.

According to a report I heard this morning, the intial report from the ship informed they "touched" the Bay Bridge. Which is the crux of the confusion point and lack of speedy response.

My hat is off to all the volunteers who are trying to help with the cleanup.

Heard a f'd up report on that this morning. The ship's owner has hired a crew to work on the cleanup. That's a good thing, right? Except that they are trying to prevent volunteers, and reporters, from having access to the beach to help/cover it. Nice. They're not having much success though, being a public beach and all.

A touch that caused a 90 foot gash. Helluva touch.
