Oil sample collected at Jetty Park beach by Coast Guard moments ago. It will
be sent to a lab for testing. With all the traffic through Port Canaveral it will most likely be found to be refined product from one of the boats or ships. |

That's only about 20 miles from here Cocoa Beach tourists can make that a long 20 miles. Kind of spoiled down here where being behind 2 cars at a red light is a traffic jam. I used to keep a boat at Cocoa Beach Yacht Club. It's a great port. |

Then blame it on BP. Or better yet, get paid to clean up your own spill. -- Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common sense? |

It's an interesting thing to do once...drive out on Daytona Beach, but...once you do that, the car traffic really interferes with the enjoyment of a beach experience...cars, car smells, noise, traffic. |

Yeah, it's gotten dangerous for people to lay out without getting run over. It would suck to take kids and have to add traffic to the other things parents have to monitor at the beach. |

I've lived in several different apartments in and around Cocoa Beach, back
in the '60s, when the place was cool and you could drive on the beach. I would have liked to have seen it back then. My first visit was during the Challenger recovery and while it was quieter than it is now, it was still pretty busy. Moved to the area in 1988 and bought an old house on the Indian River for 90k. Times have changed... |

Things were pretty loose and easy in Cocoa Beach back then. I did get stopped once for having glass packs that were a little loud, but the cop let me off with a warning to 'take it easy'. Probably 15 years ago we were vacationing at a beach in SC (where it is illegal to drive on the beach) and we got up early one morning for a walk. About a mile down the beach there was a car that made it about half way from the dunes to the firm sand, sitting there, back tires spun down so that the frame was sitting on the sand. Some dude was behind the wheel, and his wife/girlfriend was in the passenger seat, both trying to sink down and blend in to the car. :-) I'm sure his wallet was much lighter when that was over. |

Probably, but a decent guy would have offered to call a tow truck or something...15 years ago, cell phones weren't that common. In the 1950s, my dad's employees would deliver boat rigs to a popular beach where there was pass-through between two old hotels direct to the water. Once in a while, the jeep they used would bury its wheels up to the hubs in the sand. When that happened, plenty of guys would come over to help out. Obviously, these volunteers weren't "jackgoffs." |

Long Island Sound in a nice cove on the north side, on the Connecticut shore. Here's the beach...some of the area looks the same as it did 50 years ago. The old hotel is still there, it seems, and so is the pass-through. That's amazing. http://tinyurl.com/2bnre3z If you smell b.s., you should change your shorts. |

The crews would drive out onto the sandbar to launch the boat. No boat ramp there. Once in a while they got "caught." An entirely plausible tale... if you didn't lie constantly, it would be believable. Chicken Little syndrome. If you smell b.s., you should change your shorts. It's just that all your posts are tainted. Yawn. You're right-wing trash. What you think you think is not important. Oh...and your entire right-wing life is tainted. |

Things were pretty loose and easy in Cocoa Beach back then. I did get stopped once for having glass packs that were a little loud, but the cop let me off with a warning to 'take it easy'. Probably 15 years ago we were vacationing at a beach in SC (where it is illegal to drive on the beach) and we got up early one morning for a walk. About a mile down the beach there was a car that made it about half way from the dunes to the firm sand, sitting there, back tires spun down so that the frame was sitting on the sand. Some dude was behind the wheel, and his wife/girlfriend was in the passenger seat, both trying to sink down and blend in to the car. :-) I'm sure his wallet was much lighter when that was over. I'm sure he appreciated your offer to help. JackOff couldn't wait to turn the guy in. Probably, but a decent guy would have offered to call a tow truck or something...15 years ago, cell phones weren't that common. Between the the police car sitting back up in the parking lot, and the tow truck that would have already been called, he had more "help" than he could wish for. D'oh. In the 1950s, my dad's employees would deliver boat rigs to a popular beach where there was pass-through between two old hotels direct to the water. Once in a while, the jeep they used would bury its wheels up to the hubs in the sand. When that happened, plenty of guys would come over to help out. So your dad delivered rental boats or new boats to a beach to be launched into the surf, without a boat ramp, in the soft sand? Rental boaters or new boaters doing surf launches? I smell B.S. Those two must spend most of their time discussing with each other ways to make a derogatory post. What a waste of time and energy. ....delivered boats to a beach with a jeep...

...delivered boats to a beach with a jeep... Right! That's right, you racist piece of crap. The smaller boats were towed from the store to the beach, if that is what the customer wanted, and launched there. There were also ramps, although not convenient to that beach. Larger boats were towed by one of two trucks. The jeep was more than adequate for the smaller boats. Why are you commenting? You don't know anything about boats. You're the asshole who wanted to winterize his outboard with WD-40, and wanted to know which two cycle oil to mix in the gas for your four cycle outboard. What do you actually know about boat and motor combos of the 1950s? Didn't you grow up on some dirt farm in the midwest? |

We would drive out to the office, US Coast and Geodetic Survey headquarters, and climb up on the roof to watch the launchings.

Rental boats? Say what? No...they weren't rental boats. He had a few customers with summer cottages at that beach, and they kept their boats moored a few hundred yards off the beach, beyond the low-tide sandbars. The crews would deliver new boats and pick up customer boats that needed repair. These were 14-17 foot outboard boats with 25-35-40 hp Evinrudes. The beach was not that deep. The crews would drive out onto the sandbar to launch the boat. No boat ramp there. Once in a while they got "caught." Surf? Hehe. Not often. Long Island Sound in a nice cove on the north side, on the Connecticut shore. Here's the beach...some of the area looks the same as it did 50 years ago.
