we have an all clear for July 4 for oil. I was out at the beach today (July 2), and there were swimmers, paddle boarders, and many beach goers. Water was beautiful and beach was clean. I was working, but it looked like everyone was enjoying the warm water and sun.

Have a wonderful Independence Day!

Okaloosa County and the U.S. Coast Guard have developed a boom plan for the Destin Pass that could be the best oil deflection strategy on the Gulf Coast. But it will be later in the week at best before the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues the permit required for the booms to be deployed. The new plan was devised this weekend after the Coast Guard ordered the removal of booms set in its navigable waters.The most recent plan calls for permanent pilings fitted with flashing lights to be constructed at strategic points within the Destin Pass and boom to be extended 400 feet from the shoreline to the piling. It is hoped any Deepwater Horizon oil residue carried into the pass will be pushed by the prevailing currents into the catch basins formed by the chevron shaped booming.

Wow, take a look at this-- if you live on the Gulf Coast and see your livelihood and the value of your property and even your financial viability threatened, get a load of this!!


"The giant oil spill in the gulf (still gushing thousands of gallons of oil a day into the sea) and the hundreds of thousands of gallons of "dispersant" BP has pumped into the water to combat the slick are "tiny" compared to the "very big ocean."

Wow!! we need to all respond to Mr Hayward in a very big way!! I wonder if all the sea life they are destroying is enjoying the "very big ocean!"
