I owned a twin like this plane for 20 plus years and know it only burns about 25 to 30 gal's per hour. He should have left Marco with enough fuel for the round trip if he didn't want to spend a few extra cents in the keys. He is either a total idiot or has alltimeers but either way he should never be legal again. He's lucky he had water under him instead of trees & or mangroves, as Im sure the results would be different.

Why don't all of us boaters that frequent the beach at the south-end of Keewaydin island change our anchoring spot too Hideaway Beach for the next year or so.
There is more good beach with a sandy bottom, room for at least 200 boats ,nice wide
beach for games like volley ball. Frisbee, sand sculpturing, etc. Might even be able to use
the rest rooms at the beach club for a small fee. The chief might make special lunches for
us to purchase which would help them raise enough money to renourish the beach. The lot at 300 Seabreeze dr. could be used for the new plubic rest rooms and access with plenty of parking using clubs parking lots. Money raised tru parking fee's would assure Hideaway ample money for continued beach repairs.

He bought his first condo at age 13, paying the $10,000 deposit with money he'd saved doing odd jobs.
Less than 10 years later, Dan Dufault Jr. heads a company he helped forge while still in college, and is building a home he values at around $2.2 million in Marco Island's Estates area for his young family.
On the way, he's resurrected an ailing mortgage and title company, hired and fired staff, and also been instrumental in bold future expansion plans for the RE/MAX Results Realty one-stop-shopping empire on Marco Island.
An empire owned, coincidentally, by his dad, Dan Sr., and mom, Denise.
It includes RE/MAX Results Realty, Enterprise Construction, Marco Island Vacation Properties and Marco Island Financial Services (which includes mortgage, title and insurance services).
But, says the younger Dufault, that doesn't mean he was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth.
He worked his way through the ranks just like any other aspiring executive, he says, only much more quickly.
A year ago, Dufault was appointed president of Enterprise Construction, the company's prolific construction arm.
At the moment, Enterprise Construction has about 45 projects in various stages of completion, including about 30 homes

People who are not happy living or owning on Marco island should consider moving elsewhere .Marco island has all the conveniences ,the luxury ,the obvious characteristics any upscale community should guarantee its owners .Unfortunately not all can be happy with every scenario on this island .It would be interesting to know how many of these negative responses are from people don't even own property here . Fortunately, us happy owners see right through these naysayers and wish them all the best of luck in all of their endeavors . When most of them have chosen to move elsewhere , Marco island will become the ultimate community for us water,Nature ,and boat lovers . There is not one of us that were forced to purchase here ,we all selected this island as our second or first home freely.

It is unfortunate that these so called community members , can't direct their efforts into worthwhile projects , such as save our homes ,homestead exemptions , or other beneficial programs that would benefit all of us residents .
I am sick and tired of hearing negative remarks about our elected city officials ,and are city manager .

“decrease in the net loss is primarily due to the decrease in the provision for loan losses, somewhat offset by a decrease in the income tax benefit.”
Now I totally understand, why the interest expense declined $20.9 million decrease in average deposit balances. This should make shareholders more comfortable prior to the banks collapse,
they explained this exactly as Paulson and Bush explained, the urgent bail out of banks for homeowners to us the gullible.
