this big excitement here in the marina today is a nasty diesel spill from one of the hideously ugly powerboats on our dock -- a fuel line spontaneously disconnected itself, the fuel went into the bilge, and the automatic pump sent it right out into the marina, yuck. the fire dept. has been here & the water is now littered with those little absorbent pads, trying to soak up all the fuel, but everything smells like diesel, and the water has a pretty-but-ugly rainbow slick on it...
