GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE, Fla. - Gooey blobs of oil tar washed ashore in growing numbers Friday on the white-sand beaches of Florida's Gulf Islands National Seashore as a slick from the BP spill approached the state's western Panhandle region.

At the same time, small gobs of reddish brown oil washed up in the surf for the first time in nearby Gulf Shores, Ala., and a petroleum smell tinged the air.

Meanwhile, a BP executive said that a cap that's been placed atop a blown-out oil well in the Gulf of Mexico has been collecting some oil.

BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles said that oil has started flowing up the pipe from the cap.

But Suttles said it will be later in the day before they know how much is being captured from the well.

FRONTLINE PERSONNEL STILL STANDING-BY

We were contacted yesterday and told we might have a request by the close of business.  Still no purchase order. One source states more and more plans for supports bases are being made. It is just a very slow process. 

Frontline remains ready to deploy.
