Here's a link to a SF paper with a lot of photos and video of the oil spill. Doesn't look good folks.
If anyone is wondering why I keep posting this stuff its because of a fascination I developed when I stumbled across the SF Bay Dophin Club one day when I was visiting the Bay area. I was amazed at the swimmers who braved the cold waters. I also thought the clubhouse was "way cool."
I do a good bit of lap swimming (see goals - lower left) so I have lots of time to think about it. I routinely see athletic folks who can't swim, or swim poorly + often wonder why I find it so easy - I'm not particularly athletic. This blog is about what I'm learning about swimming dynamics + some fun stuff too.
For your safety, all posts + comments are musings + tips that have worked for me - opinion only. For the record, I strongly suggest following Red Cross swim-safety protocols.

Update on SF Oil Spill - Bad News
The Coast Guard reported last evening that 58,000 gallons had spilled as a result of yesterday's cargo ship mishap in the SF Bay. The slick has spread and is as far as Alcatraz (we were worried about that - see yesterday's post). Here's a link with more details. It ain't pretty folks. Let's hope they can clean it up fast.
