Tony Hayward at Yacht Race Angers La. Officials

(CBS)  On Day 61 of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, BP faces another public relations disaster. As the gusher continues to flow a mile below the surface in the Gulf. BP CEO Tony Hayward spent Saturday at a prestigious yacht race around England's Isle of Wight.

Also, tarballs were spotted for the first time on the beach at Panama City, Fla., and BP restarted its oil-capture operation after a 10-hour shutdown.

Special Section: Disaster in the Gulf

Back to Hayward, a man who looked a lot like the BP chief was sailing in Hayward's boat in a yacht race off the coast of England Saturday, CBS News Correspondent Don Teague reports.

BP confirmed Hayward was at the race though the company wouldn't say whether he was on the boat. Still, the news presented a stunning contrast in images as oil continues to gush from his company's blown-out well.

The reaction here in Louisiana?

"You wake up in oil, you go to sleep in oil just about, and so Tony Hayward, Tony Baloney, wherever he's at, at the race tracks or the yachts, maybe he just needs to stay over there and send the money, and we'll take care of business," Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle said.

Local officials from Grand Isle spent Saturday inspecting a line of barges they hope will keep more oil from entering Barataria Bay, the source for a third of Louisiana's seafood revenue.

The makeshift blockade is now almost half a mile long and will stretch a mile more by Monday.

"We are all going to work together, and we're going to fight this in Louisiana," said Camardelle. "We're going to protect our people."

The exact cause of the explosion that destroyed the Deepwater Horizon rig is still under investigation, but a Wall Street Journal analysis found BP used a cheaper and riskier well design more often than its competitors did, including on the Deepwater Horizon, which exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

Meanwhile, BP's blown-out well is still gushing oil at a rate of up to two-and-a-half million gallons a day.

The Coast Guard says a cap is now capturing about a million gallons a day and could capture two million by June 30, but that effort was shut down for several hours overnight Friday because of bad weather.

On Saturday, more storms forced booming and skimming operations near shore to shutdown temporarily.

Meantime, seafood prices are on the rise, and Louisiana oysters are almost gone. An oyster processing warehouse is shutting down, idling 50 workers.

"It's hard because, you know, we don't set out to have an oil spill, but still we're out of work," warehouse worker Moses Charles said.

Still, the fight against the oil spill got an emotional boost Saturday. Some of New Orleans' top chefs threw a party for the people of Grand Isle.

"Everything is about the oil," one Louisianan said, "and we need a little break."

Of course, the ultimate solution to this crisis is to finish drilling a relief well. The Coast Guard says the relief well is now within about 200 feet horizontally of the blown-out well. It's going to take, though, several more weeks for BP to fine-tune and intersect that well. That will ultimately shut off the flow of oil, and that's what everyone here is waiting for.

Hayward is at least trying to do something. I would be more upset about the President's golf weekend. I guess that's not a story for CBS. California and the President do have something in common - not be right often.

[SethRN]

Attacks against Tony Hayward of BP have been neatly orchestrated, inflated, escalated, and nurtured by the Obama Administration, often with Chicago thug style tactics, joined by willing accomplices in the media... while Obama golfs for hours on end, day after day after day, bowling in the White House, watching baseball for hours, hosting multitudes of parties providing high priced entertainers from around the world on our dime(!!!!),weekly cocktail receptions serving high priced booze and pricey Kobe beef entrees, vacation after damn vacation, while Americans are out of work en mass, employers not hiring, banks not lending! Barack Obama is CLUELESS educated MORON, a finger pointer,and doesn't have a problem solving bone in his body! Who wouldn't be angry with Barack Obmama for being a liar, a thug and having his minions work hard to rob our nation of our freedoms Not the slightest bit interested in putting anyone back to work...let's face it...he doesn't know how! Let's Not let the Marxist in Chief and his co-thugs get away with their agenda. Throw their them and their Saul Alinsky's, "Rules for Radicals" out with them... Let the Jake Tappers - "We forced them (BP) to do this...",the Rahm Emanuel's - "Never let a crisis go to waste...", Ken Salazar - "...keep our boot on the throat of BP...."Eric Holder's "...the law is unforgivable.." and the Hillary Clinton's who told Ecuadorian T.V. for G-d's sake that the US Justice Dept would sue AZ (not mentioning a word to AZ first!)...Let's round up all these radicals and send them back to the hole they came from!
November 2010!!! Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Democrat!

And just what did the Reoubs do when they were fully in charge from 2001-2007?

[Bucs360]

So basically attack Obama and the Democrats at all costs. Thats why this country has the problems it has, too many people like you who care more about their political party then their country. Do you really think Mccain would be doing anything differently? Maybe less sporting events, but he wouldn't be down at the Gulf any longer than Obama has been.

[Kaizer_Soze]

He's no longer in charge of Gulf cleanup, who cares what he does.

[cleric60]

"you are so blinded by racial hatred"...comments so many of our national liberals....
Question: It appears that everytime a negative comment is made about Obama it's label "racism" or "racial". When liberals make fun of conservative blacks--Such as Supreme Judge Thomas we never heard that word "rascism or racist or racial". Isn't that interesting?????

[Palin_for_Presidentess]

That might be because repuglitards long ago said that the wanted Obama (and consequently the nation) to fail while the talibagger movement continually demonstrates itself to be the plain clothes arm of the KKK.

[actornaught]

The TP poster of BHO in whiteface (Joker) makeup is one of those scurrilous dog-whistle images that they think nobody else "gets".

By the way, phony-cleric, the "exception proves the rule" is only another lame tool in foxrush bizarro anti-logic kit. But i see you're entertained...

[IndepTex22]

"Tony Hayward at Yacht Race Angers La. Officials"

Does the MSM think Tony is fixing the leak!? Get over it........his employees and all sorts of sub-contractors are working to fix the leak.............Barry said so.

[Palin_for_Presidentess]

I think most people might think he belongs in jail once the full extent of BP's corporate negligence is know.

Eleven people lost their lives after all and the ecological damage is unprecedented and STILL GROWING.

[pasha128]

Did you see the story that BP knew the primary of two shutoff mechanisms had failed (and in fact they had disabled it's operation) and continued to operate the well like normal with only the backup unit for protection.

Any a$$ kickings yet? The media will be all over the kickings.

[case1850]

The man deserves a day off just like the rest of us. At least they are doing something,unlike the responsible companies in Nigeria. I would like to see more action and news emphasis taken regarding the companies behind the oil spills in that area. They have been going on for sevral years and no help or remedy has come to that area. The US will survive, the news agency will not let it disappear.

[ajvw]

no mention of nobama playing golf the same day

[thumpr1019]

Maybe that's because the United States isn't responsible for this disaster, BP is, or havn't you been paying attention?

[FauxNews]

He's hoping his yacht will sail faster in oily water.

[gig76]

Tony Hayward is a monster along with Cheney and Palin and their genius idea to screw President obama to the gulf floor of deep water drilling. Wow! How remarkable that Cheney is still in control and has all the power and wants to hand off to Palin. Genius NOT. Monsters.

[erichsh]

You were saying, gig? Who's the monster???

WASHINGTON ? The Obama administration is proposing to open vast expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the north coast of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling, much of it for the first time, officials said Tuesday.
