I am deeply saddened by the recent oil spill in the bay when a container ship struck the Bay Bridge.  58,000 gallons of oil were released.  With the winds and the tides the oil is as far as Farallon Islands...  what a shame.

They have been cleaning birds and skimming oil for several days. 

Thanks to all the volunteers that have been cleaning up...

Thanks to all the workers doing there job cleaning up...

I don't know how far south into my part of the bay the oil is... My boat is raw water cooled, I dont think I should take it anywhere near the oil.
