    Default Oil Spill Clean up

    Howdy all, just got back from the spill area..

    I'm somewhat restricted as far as reporting volumes recovered,companies involved and any other specifics,but the folks working the clean up effort are doing their best to get as much picked up as they can...The thought is that every gallon we pick up is one less that will reach shore..

    The people I worked with were extremely professional and knew their business well...I look forward to working with them again as this terrible situation looks like it will be a long operation...

    I just learned how much work taking a ship into the yards is...If you're not 6 levels down in the holds taking access covers off, you're 3 levels above the main deck on catwalks taking down heavy, greasy turnbuckles. Took my body over a week to feel normal again. I'd do it again though, lotsa OT...

    Health care? I thought my money was going to help out illegal aliens who got screwed on their mortgages....There just isn't enough to go around, sorry Paul..

    I plan on it but for now I will go back to my boat here on the West Coast...

    SWO, sounds like you gained some more experience, good deal...

    I already work for a spill response company..When this thing happened my company called in additional personnel within the company to assist..You might look up MSRC and NRC to see what info is available on their websites..Good luck..
