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.

Another Flash: Oil leaking in SF Bay ... Swimmers and Birds Beware?

Mercury News is reporting that a cargo ship has hit a bumper (is that a pylon or something like that?) in San Francisco Bay and may be leaking oil. How much? Dunno. Hope it doesn't impact my peeps who swim from Alcatraz. Yes, some of them do oil up first - ironic, isn't it? Here's a web cam, courtesy of CBS, shows a ship (Is that the ship? CBS isn't saying, I just did a search and found what looks like something that appears to be a ship under a bridge in the bay - I'm a great researcher, huh? LOL). Kind of small so it's hard to see. The ship is reported to be near Treasure Island.
