We have had a lot of wind since we did this clean up. So we will see what has come in on the waves. We do get clots of oil that get blown into our area...either from passing ships, cargo vessels and oil tankers - maybe? Rubbish that gets blown into the water from over-filled dustbins is also a problem too.
