Oil Spil - Vacation Plans?

[Slugger926]

Anyone got a guesstimate on what Panama City Beach, FL would be like during the first week of August?

oily with a chance of slickness

I was going to say Penzoil, with a touch of Quaker State.

Oil slick aside, go west towards Sandestin/Destin/FWB/Navarre.... much nicer beaches than PCB in my opinion.

But then again I spent alot more time in the Pensacola/Eglin area than in the Tyndall area... so I'm a bit biased.

I'm going on vacation in mid-June, but fortunately Maritime Canada is a little ways upstream from the oil spill.

Not if the gulf stream carries it...

Or if manbearpig attacks.

You could get a wicked "tan" just by swimming in the gulf.

I am biased to PCB since going there since I was 1 year old, since my grandparents lived in Albany, GA. When I finally took my family there in May 2008, our vacation club got us a new condo on the west side of PCB that was really nice with a short drive to Destin, and easy access to the Pirate Cruise, St. Andrews Park, and Gulf Marine Park. St. Andrews was really nice when the surf was up for the kids to enjoy the beach behind protected jetties, and also to do some snorkeling.

Are we sure it's an oil spill and not some fudgey story in the works?

I was never a PCB guy, always preferred TCE or mercury in my water.

You are saying it could be the secret New Orleans underwater septic tank that finally blew?

...that the Bush administration planted to finish the job the levees didn't.

Don't confuse them with the environmental nomenclature, VT.
