Default Mysterious Brown Stain in Gulf of Mexico

Google Earth satellite photos have indicated a mysterious, recurring,
brown/reddish-brown stain in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico along the
U.S./Mexico border. At first it was thought to be an oil spill so research
vessels were dispatched to the area of concern. They took water samples and
discovered the reddish/brown water was diluted coffee and iron oxide. It is
thought that perhaps a cargo of coffee in a container was lost overboard
from some passing ship in a hurricane last year.

We here in rbc and asa know the real cause of this anomaly.
