Unfortunately, Colin’s second report from Gulf Shores is not as favorable. A “band” of oil arrived on the beach yesterday. Colin reports that cleanup crews have disappeared and had this to say about the BP response center:
Communicating is very difficult and probably not effective. The person who answers on their 1-866 number has no local knowledge at all. He then has to pass on a message to the “local center”…….there is no number (confirmation or otherwise) for follow up.
Disappointing.

Weather: Hot and Sunny
Food: Wonderful
Water: Clear and Warm – Have disturbed fish and crabs!
Beach: White Sand – Clean
Folks need to come down, see and enjoy!
Colin notes that the resort is not nearly as busy as usual. We all know why. The beach contamination scare spread much farther than the oil. The Evening News in Norfolk warned viewers that Macondo oil was headed for Virginia Beach! Should these fear-mongers contribute to BP’s compensation fund?
With regard to Macondo, Colin astutely offers the following:
the story is now quite complex with the flow on the inside, but the potential outside flow the heavy influence on the way forward…….I think that for future incidents we have to have a full and open set of information….suspect that this would have resulted in an easier, faster solution
