Although the Boynton/Delray sewer plant has already agreed to shut down
its ocean outfall in response to Reef Rescue's $7000 studies, it has
hired NOAA, for $600,000 in taxpayer money, to prove the Gulf Stream
flows from north to south, "vindicating" their resistance to the idea
that their effluent is damaging the reef.
At midnight last, they dumped dye on the outgoing tide at Boynton inlet
to demonstrate that the flow from Lake Worth lagoon is the culprit,
flowing south onto the reef.
God, being on Reef Rescue's side, made the current flow north however,
and the dye ended up off Lake Worth pier, on its way to Nova Scotia.
The sewer plant believes it was a Reef Rescue trick, and will repeat the
dye test from a location near the outfall, expecting the dye plume to
drift south to Antarctica.
$600,000!
And the citizens are bitching about taxes.

Damn, that's good. I'd like to order a 0.1 kt north flowing current
for the next time I go down to dive papa's wreck - can you arrange it?
