they re using their own vessels. it s a risky business for their boats, here you go. right on the florida-alabama state line, nearly 3,000 boats packed with commercial fishermen and charter boat captains like brian watts are working as part of the coast guard s vessel of opportunity program. we didn t have any other choice. our fishing, you know, was shut down. we had to have some way to have a source of income. crews are trained to lay booms. they scoop and then bag up b.p. oil and haul it to shore. captains are paid $1,200 per day for boats up to 30 feet long. and $3,000 for boats 65 feet and longer. sure, that s good money. but thick, oily water can ruin a $20,000 engine and some insurance companies are telling boat owners flat out, they will not pay for the repairs. that stuff might cover your boat. we re not paying for it. if you re going to put yourself out in that, you re purposely
damaging your boat. this program is supposed to be going out to these commercial fishermen first. they re supposed to be the ones that are getting the chance to be part of this boom program first but it turns out now that some sport fishermen, part-time fishermen are coming into the program being accused of muscling their way in and late last night, guys, the coast guard announced that indeed it understands. it s been listening to the people complain about these problems and it acknowledges there are problems with this program and says it s going to get them straight. back to you. interesting stuff. all right. orlando salinas in florida. thank you, sir. keeping a close eye on the markets now. in one hour from now, we ll get the new jobless claims from last week. right now, the unemployment rate is 9.5%. overseas markets are currently down after the federal reserve voiced concern over the slow pace of u.s. economic recovery. brian? thanks. new video into fox & friends out of i
