Things are not looking well for our beaches. The weather has turned filthy with heavy seas and winds. There is a coastal flood watch, which means the slick will be driven even faster toward shore.
So far, no word on them stopping the continuing leak, and the thing is expected to reach our local beaches on Monday or Tuesday.
Jim does Turtle patrol at least once a week (this is riding a 3 wheeler down the length of the beaches at dawn to search for signs of turtle nesting and to mark the nests so people won't mess with them and destroy the eggs). He's already been advised that they are to carry environmental suits on the back of the vehicle so they can don them if they run into contamination on the beaches.
This is such a nightmare.
We're hoping at least they can keep the oil out of the bay, but we'll see.
