Actually it's that tail, which is about to reach one of the tributary currents of the Gulf Stream. Shall we tell England to get out the adsorbants?

Yup. That's the biggest problem right now. The slick has hit the Gulf current, which will take it around Florida (there are already tar balls washing up in the Keys) and right up the Gulf Stream.

The recently encountered tar balls in the Keys are apparently not from this spill. Soon enough, though, sigh.

Huh. Well I'm sure BP-related tar balls will start showing up soon anyway. Gotta wonder where these are coming from though. Do we have another leak we're not even aware of?

I wonder whether the Coast Guard finds them all the time, and this time was only special because of the Gulf spill.

That's kind of a terrifying thought. That there are *always* tar balls floating around in the oceans.
