PAT NEAL: Fix the road

IT’S ONLY FEBRUARY, but our Olympic Peninsula tourist season has already started.

A yellow oil-containment boom surrounds the 60-foot power cruiser Goldfinch after it sank at the Point Hudson Marina on Saturday. The boat was on its way from Seattle to Anacortes when it started taking on water. It made it to the Point Hudson and struck the breakwater as it entered the harbor but was able to be steered into slip 3, where it immediately sank. Port of Port Townsend staff responded and deployed the hard boom and absorbent material to contain the fuel spill. As of Monday afternoon, about 1,000 gallons of diesel had been recovered by Global Diving and Salvage with 650 gallons from the fuel tanks of the Goldfinch and the remainder being sopped up by absorbent material. The U.S. Coast Guard and the state Department of Ecology responded and performed additional containment. A plan for recovery was in the works, but it wasn’t expected to begin before Wednesday due to weather. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
