Up up and away.

Gas is up 34.10 cents to 174.70 cents a liter this morning. The big kicker is that stove oil is up 42 cents to 151.42 cents a liter.

I don't understand why we cant be told what happened to the Astron that made it go aground. The company spokesperson is all tight lipped and will not reveal what happened.
Well obviously something out of the ordinary happened, so why not prevent rumour and speculation and own up.
While the operator is a private company the contract to run the service is with the Government of NL. It is a service for the people run by it's elected Representatives. Where is T&W? have not heard a peep out of them.
This is not the first time vessels that are owned and or operated by this company have broken down, the Northern Ranger had a series of them a few years back, silence was the order of the day, in the end the truth came out and the company and W&T looked stupid.
Then there is the on going breakdown of engines and equipment of the Astron, real third world operation that is.
