Thanks – feel free to use it!
It appears that the Gulf Stream has the oil spinning in a counter clock wise direction. Why couldn’t a flotilla of boats, pulling a semi submersible barrier in single file be used to corral the oil? I realize that the oil slick is massive, but if you bite off sections that are closes to the shore maybe you could keep it from hitting the shore. If the lead ships have a deep draft (large displacement) that would push the oil into the center of the vortex. If the ships travel in the same direction as the Gulf is spinning the oil, The oil skimmers could travel in the opposite direction in the center of the vortex and suck up the oil.
