Not a good situation...Captain John & Bumpkin, <br /><br />Not a good situation here on Pensacola Beach either. Oil all up and down the shore. A dolphin beached itself yesterday around the Ft. Pickens area. She was rescued but died a few hours later. I read this morning that a rare breed of sea turtles are getting caught in the controled burns that BP is conducting near the site. People are there waiting and wanting to help but aren't allowed. How ridiculous!<br /><br />Please continue to post all the information you can and keep sending those e mails, some journalist will pick it up.<br /><br />Godspeed....<br /><br />CarolCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063098553066000836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396104391579677492.post-20003273206918395472010-05-11T11:51:26.073-05:002010-05-11T11:51:26.073-05:00Oh the media!

All I can do (other than pass on your blog to someone in the media here who "might" be able to give it some more air space) is say thank you for keeping us informed and pray that you stay strong.

Do I have a case against BP for mental stress and deep depression??? My husband, who the Capt & him would be FAST friends, is also furious. While fishing is not his "job", he treats it like it is! He refuses to keep an amberjack who's legal because he "looks sad" when pulled up. We catch and release redfish because they're just FUN to catch and it's a good fight. :-) So sad to think those poor fish are ingesting all this garbage now, and NO one will tell the truth.<br />Keep on keeping on, it's all we can do now. Amazing that in this day and age with all the technology in the world, they can't plug the damn leak (or should I say "geyser" instead?). Jerks. No BP gas being purchased 'round these parts. <br />Hang in there you guys. Love from Gulf Shores AL!

All I could think of is how this just might be their last good feast. Heartbreaking, that is until you think about all the lying that is going on. The fact that they are lying just means this is a great deal more tragic than can be believed. <br /><br />We must all do our part and spread the word to the rest of this great big world.Shawntellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396104391579677492.post-82395054252266674862010-05-09T21:30:09.584-05:002010-05-09T21:30:09.584-05:00This kind of deception is crazy.

Aren't they supposed to report the truth? And what's up with our government? They can spend billions of dollars on military weapons, but have issues with helping an environmental disaster or even letting the locals who know the waters help??? UGH so frustrating and angering.<br />I am saddened to hear that porpoises washed up on shore. I love dolphins... I love all animals, and to hear and see all of this horrible happenings, is just terrible. Those poor animals and plants can not talk for themselves, nor can they fight for themselves. What a disaster. Thank you Captain and Lisa for all that you two are doing, and trying to do, and reporting to us. We'd much rather hear the truth.<br />On a lighter note, I'm so glad you had a great time with Trishy! I love her to death, and miss her terribly! Isn't she just the sweetest sweetest person? I think so. :) <br />XOXO- VyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326174157664530065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6396104391579677492.post-24867938059704357392010-05-09T12:34:19.606-05:002010-05-09T12:34:19.606-05:00Thanks for the atrocious truth, Bumpkin and Captai...Thanks for the atrocious truth, Bumpkin and Captain John.

They have been trying to pass legislation that only Natural Gas wells can be dug...if there is a leak it just dissipates. He thinks that what is going on may help in their cause...too little to late, but maybe something good can come out of it.MCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573175013345702775noreply@blogger.com
