California: 2-Mile-Long Oil Slick Appears Off Coast of Santa Barbara 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In California, authorities are investigating a two-mile-long oil slick
that has appeared in the water off the coast of Santa Barbara. Two
kayakers discovered the slick Wednesday when they suddenly found their
legs and boats covered in oil. The slick appeared about 12 miles away
from the site of a massive pipeline spill in May, which dumped 100,000
gallons of crude oil onto the beach.
