Our news tonight showed pictures of buckets full of raw sewage sitting around on the deck. If I had someone on board that ship I would worry, too. They said the boat was expected to reach the port about midnight. I got a telephone call a few minutes ago ... the caller said "Congratulations! You have been selected for a free cruise." It's a scam.... they have called before but they said "You have won a free cruise" ... and I just hang up because I haven't entered any contests to win. Not sure what they are really selling....but with the news being so bad it's a bad time to try to sell someone on a cruise.

It was moving very slowly at that time but is not moving at all now (for several hours) because of a broken tug line. In fact, because it is just drifting I can tell that it has actually drifted away from land. I can tell that by my position on the deck and by its proximity to a certain gas rig. Even when they get it moving again it will take at least six hours to reach port, maybe longer. If Mobile authorities win the battle over traveling at night through the Mobile Bay channel, they won't be getting in tonight. My husband will probably see it out there when he takes the dog for a sunrise walk in the morning. I really feel for those poor people who are so excited to be getting home tonight.
