Posted: 07/20/2010

Singer Jimmy Buffett isn't just giving the gift of song to help out the victims of the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill.

He's also donating a boat. The boat is expected to be used to rescue oiled wildlife.

The vessel is apparently specially designed to navigate shallow waters easier than other boats, a trait that makes it ideal for trying to save slime covered birds.
