(excerpt)

A westward wind arrived Friday and blew away the tar chips that had washed up by the thousands on Destin beaches the day before.

That nugget of good news was supplemented by a couple others — tar balls spotted off of Okaloosa Island Thursday had moved away without coming ashore and 10 new skimmer boats had been sent to the area by the unified response command in Mobile.

None are showing this evening:

Yellow triangles are skimmers, orange are reponse, green are research and blue are government vessels. Zoom around here.

That link won't last. Here is the homepage. Takes some clicking and looking to figure out how to see the ships and access all the options (forecasts, fishing closures etc).
