Oil out of Cameron
 
We ran offshore today and coming back, 8-12 miles out of Cameron, we started to see large red globs sacherating large clumps of grass. Guy I was with who works in the oilfield immediately recognized it was oil and alot of it. Stretched far on a rip, smell it clearly. 80 percent was on grass, other was isolated.
Then we came in 2 more miles and came on more grass with even more matts of crude. Another man was a captain with the pilots assoc. and marked these areas to call WLDF & USCG.. Oil is close..

Smoked some triple tail, and was happy as a clam. Saw all this and we all did not talk till we got to Heberts...

Ray, who do you know that works on the pilot boats?

My paw-in-law is one of the pilot boat captains and is also the cameron parish Constable.

They also had two giant tankers, stationary, 3 miles out around the buoy chains.
Might of been on standby?,but when the oil price fluctuates rapidly they will also waight there..

Is there a plan in place to keep the oil offshore and not allow it to enter Big Lake? I suppose the only way is to shut the ship channel down and I am sure they won't have the nads to do that given the economic cost. But I sure hope they do!

according to a fallen member of the site


there are booms in place that will be stretched across the jetty, but be manned and have gates to allow ships through

Strictly rumors

Also heard from a first-hand source that it was a rumor. The media is destroying this here for the lake.

Never gonna happen. What they would do is only allow ship traffic on an outgoing tide.

Cameron OEP is working on a plan. They have been working with the National Guard
and the State of La. since the oil hit the beaches at Grand Isle.
