Swimming is peaceful, and the cool ocean gives us the opportunity to cool down... however, lurking at Mile5 is Cameroon's offshore oil rig and oil processing plant. As recently as November 2004, Mile6 was covered in crude oil... yet still the huge ships roll in...
Vergina II first approached the oil rig yesterday morning around 6:30am. The dull greyed out photo below shows her being manoeuvred into place with the help of two tugs. The interesting question is: she came fully loaded... but departed empty. What was she carrying that the oil rig required?

Unfortunately, due to the high level of pollution caused by the crude oil spill, two of the four monkeys which habitat Mile6 beach were killed.
