Buddy's boat flooded at his dock and he asked me to come over this morning and help get it floated. His battery died and killed his bilge pumps. We put some air bags under the boat and got the boat floating again.
While it was partially submerged it had been bouncing off the dock. When we got the boat floating again, there was oil - tons of it - smeared all over the side of the boat. I was like ****, its here.
A guy from the Coast Guard showed up because they had gotten reports of tar balls in the canal. He told us that it wasn't from the gulf spill, it was from container ships that are going through the Gulf and Florida Straights. Apparently they are all dumping their bilge water because they figure the water is already fubar'ed so they won't get caught when they dump.
I'd like to shoot the bastards in the face.
