I love these old wooden boats, obviously. It may be my eventual undoing but I feel like my yard is going to be a boat restoration center in the near future..
I read an unofficial article about this last week and now it is in the local news. I had not heard anything about this being the reason to stop the "top kill" until now.
The concern here is that every time some scenario is mentioned but considered unlikely- it turns out to be the next real time phase in the disaster.
It's scary to read this article because it feels like being prepped to accept that we are going to get this entire reserve to leak out.
