More Oil Spill

Great job Derek. That really does look like nasty work. My hats off to you buddy! Keep up the good work.
 
I had my boat working for BP for 2 months.It was GOOD money.Anytime we wanted to get the boat deconned we would just ride over to a big pontoon rig that had hot water washers setup on it.We would drive up they would grab the baot with long gaffs we would get out they would degrease it and wash it off.We jump back in and go home.It was a drive thru boat wash.

The amount of money that was and is being spent to clean this thing up is beyond belief,BP must have unlimited amounts of money.I will say this it is a disaster of huge proportions but as a company BP has gone above and beyond anything I think anyone could have asked for from a company.

we only have to decon when the boat is leaving the job for good. We still have all our boats working and about 25 employees on the beach doing clean up. We currently have our own division in Venice.

Where was your boat working?

IMO BP has done great on the spill as well as giving back to the fisherman. Alot of the boats out there are fishing boats.

My boat was in Bay Jimmy on the Plaquemines Jefferson parish line.We worked out of Port Sulphur for DRC.Who are you working for in Venice?I'm from Buras which is about 10 miles north of there.If you need another boat call me.It comes with a captain or without.All of us are 40 hr haz mat certified.We have worked boom hard and soft, Shaeffer vacuums,Diaphragm pumps,almost everything they threw at it.

I heard they got rid of most of the boats and went back to men on the beach.

We are working thru Midgulf Recovery. A lot of things have changed down there. They got rid of all the quarter barges so now they have to have enough boats to transport people back and forth. All the work is now on the beach; they are just digging and bagging sand. I don't think anymore boats are needed, but we are always looking for gatortail drivers. We can not keep them around
