Am wondering, afraid to hope, that this skimmer "A Whale" will be successful. Certainly cannot hurt to try. It's a bit annoying when someone offers a suggestion or assistance only to have the powers that be (whoever they appear to be at the moment - BP, Coast Guard...) decline, delay or whatever then turn around and tell the public they are doing everything they can....blah blah blah...

It's almost like BP is afraid someone other than BP might profit from this. I heard a joke somewhere way back when this disaster was new...the punchline of which (my paraphrase) was that BP issued an announcement that any oil washing up on beaches was the express property of BP and they would prosecute any who collected such oil...
