Ahoi All Southerners,
from the distance I might underestimate the size of the Gulf of Mexico, but
as it looks some traces of crude oil are on the march into your range.
Please, ease our "touristy" fears of fish stocks in the Gulf being effected.
Thanks for any and all info, even technical stuff like the ROV manipulated
shut down chances for the sea bottom christmas tree.
Cordial regards from Africas Wild West!
Sorry to hear, just how many livelyhoods are at peril in this spillage.
