Once the oil enters the Gulf Stream it will be carried up the coast, but it will not touch New York because of the Labrador Current which flows south hugging the coast will provide a barrier. The oil will be carried northeast becoming part of the North Atlantic Drift where it will eastward through the Barents Sea, which it will reach in approximately 100 days, westward until it exists the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Straits in about 150 days as part of the Oyashio Current where west winds with join it to the Kuro Siwo current in perhaps 175 days where it will reach the Pacific Northwest after 200 days and become part of the California Current traveling down the California coast, reaching San Francisco after 225 days. Here the oil will cause havoc as the it pollutes fisheries, mixing with the cold upwelling waters that have made these regions so rich in sea protein for mankind.
