Good Sultry Morning to you !

Yes, it's going to be another sizzling hot and humid day.  We have a better chance for pop up showers today than in the past couple of days, so be prepared for that.  Colin struggles to be anything more than a tropical wave at this point.  But he'll retain him name until the absolute end.  Again, we watch and wait.

Static Kill was started late yesterday afternoon.  So far so good, knock wood.  In a few days they will start the hard kill from the side relief wells.

Fishing off the Alabama coast is now back open. Recreation Fishing and shrimping have been given the go ahead in Mobile Bay as water tests continue to come in clear.  So we can all hope.

The first batch of relocated sea turtle eggs (not ours) have hatched and been released on the East coast of Florida.  Fair well our little green flipper friends.  We hope to see you back in 10-12 years!  Fair winds and following seas.

The beach looks great, ignoring the June Grass....grumble grumble.  The BP crews are working down WEST of 12 today, and then clear down at the other end.  They have less than 30 people on our beach today, which is great news.  They're down there cleaning up stuff that is old and being uncovered by wave action.  They were debating on what to do with a dead suckerfish.  I asked if it was oiled or just dead.  It was just dead.  Circle of life, something will come along and eat it.  I wonder if they stick going down?  Seriously, the nicest group of people considering they are dressed like arctic explorers, but are working in the sub tropics.

One of the crews spotted a swimming larger turtle, heading towards P'cola, OC.  I didn't see it, so I've got no ID for you.

D'OH ! I was so busy chatting and meeting with BP that I forgot to get an ocean shot today! Sorry about that.

I hope you are all having a wonderful time when you do get out.  Let me know if there are any questions, concerns, or areas you'd like to see addressed.

Stay safe and have fun!
