EAST GRAND TERRE ISLAND, La. – Dig 2 feet into the sand on this wind-swept beach and up comes the foul smell of oil.
The unmistakable whiff of crude eight months after the BP spill is one of the last in-your-face reminders of the long, tainted summer on the Gulf Coast.
For months,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in what BP calls Operation Deep Clean, crews have been scouring the Gulf Coast's sandy shores for oil — digging,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], scraping, tilling and sifting beach after beach.
"It's just not happening. We have seven weddings booked. Normally at this time of year I would have at least 30 on the books,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Lindsay said. "March, April,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], May and June should be booked solid right now."
Lindsay said her business is doomed, and she is trying to sell it.
"I'm done. It's just too much. I'm about ready for counseling,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she said. "They destroyed our lives. Can you imagine not having a paycheck? I never thought I'd be in this situation. It's just sad."
