VISIT TO THE GULF COAST - BAYPORT, FLORIDA

At the end of May, I went to Florida to pick up Mom and Dad and bring them back up to Cape Cod. We drive over to Bayport to view the Gulf Coast. Today it is clean and beautiful but the newspapers are filled with stories of unsuccessful attempts to stop the leak.

Alive with little fish

The edges along the marsh are swirling with schools of little fish. Birds are everywhere.
I wonder how long it will be before the oil moves in to destroy them.

Quiet Culture

Dad tells me that Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth were fishing buddies and hung out in the area. Today there are lots of fishermen enjoying the beautiful water. All the "small" people who have no chance against BP.
