Oil Drift Bouys
Three buoys have been deployed near the Cape, to help monitor the water currents in the Big Bend area. A fourth buoy was deployed to monitor waters north of the Eddy Franklin. As you can see from the results so far, the currents are not driving the oil spill towards the cape. The full map is here.

Shrimpers
June 25, 2010 |
I'm glad to see some shrimpers out. At least I hope they are shrimping. So many of our fishermen are now working for BP monitoring for oil, that nobody is catching fish anymore, even though the oil spill has not affected the fishing here.

Turtle Nest
A turtle came up and laid her eggs on our beach last night. The nest was marked as the 12th one, but the first I have seen this year. I guess I need to take longer beach walks.
I'm glad, that despite the oil spill, she made it.

Oil Report 6/7/10
Went out on the bay yesterday to fish. Did not see any oil. However, we saw a couple of miles of boom. Not sure if that was staged to pull across the mouth of the bay, or to protect the east side of the state park, should the oil come. The Coast Guard Admiral mentioned Port St. Joe today on CNN, but I have heard of no reports of oil in our area yet. The family is out on the beach right now, enjoying the surf.
