All the info I have gotten has gone south. The confusion has been unbelievable. The crude slick was 1 mile by 5 miles this afternoon. The seas are starting to build and the weekend will be hell out there. If I was booked I would be canceling for sure 21 mph winds late this afternoon with gusts to 25.

I will try to keep you posted on the effects of this disaster. It looks like the 11 missing may have not made it off the rig. There is a massive push to contain the oil wit 500,000 feet of booms within the next 12 hours and 500,000 feet already there. I think 3 skimmer ships and several storage barges on the way or already there.

What happens to our fishing remains to be seen. This happened 40 miles out to the south east so we have the east or south all the way to the west to run. A lot depends on mother nature. I hope the fishing is not hurt too bad by this.
