That gunk you speak of is not just at Shields. I put in at the Fort all winter. Every time I took it out I had that mess on my boat and motor. I have a White Johnson, and I still don't have it off it. :evil: I would guess it comes from the docks up river. It's always been in the St. Marks. Used to be a lot worse when the barge traffic was 5 times more than it is now.
