There’s a time warp here ..

Yes, there certainly is. The caption on the photo below reads, "The yacht Mya discharges oil into Sound after 2002 Figawi Race"

It happened 5 and a half years ago. (Not that he hasn't done it since...)

I enjoyed the rest of the picture caption: "This photograph was taken from shore when the photographer saw Ted Kennedy (the larger shape in the Hyannisport Yacht Club Launch on right) leaving the yacht Mya while it was discharging oil into Nantucket Sound

That would make more sense as the Figawi is held on Memorial Day weekend. Water is still a bit cool for swimming though.

A local photographer spotted an oil slick coming from Kennedy’s yacht Mya as Kennedy and his guests left the vessel in a launch following a race that ended in Hyannis, the Cape Cod Today newspaper reported.

The initial read leads you to believe it's a current event. You have to click onto the original story to get the proper time frame ... and even then it's sketchy.
