Turning Point in Coastal Crisis?

Day 98 and there's no sheen or surface oil reported in the back bays or along the coast of Baldwin County. "One there is a cap on the oil spill," says Gulf Shores city administrator Grant Brown, "no more oil is coming out. There actually is an end in sight it's now apparent to us."
There are more beach goers than clean up crews for the first time in a long time. Most of the contractors now are stationed at what looks like a tent city six miles away from the beach and are operating in strike teams.
Some boats in the Vessels of Opportunity have been re-activated but only 40 boats are on the water in Baldwin County today. "We feelpretty good about it," says Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon, "Since the well's been capped our beaches are clean, the water is cleaner. People just feel better throughout Orange Beach. I am concerned though and don't want to let our guard down."
Brown says the next positive move would be to reopened the gulf waters for swimming and has already be in touch with the state health department to get some answers. "We want to have an understanding of how and when and what mechanisms are in place to have that advisory reduced to a caution or no advisory which is what we're hoping for."
Kennon says they would also like to see that happen but only when they are sure everything is safe. "I want to make sure when we change those flags that I can say I'm going to take my children in there. If I can't say that, I can't change the flags."
