Dave -
I am sitting here on 30th Street reading the Sun article from the couple on Aqua Lane. We have lived here full-time since 1999. We have observed many things! If something does not seem right, we call it to the attention of Holmes Beach Police. They are ALWAYS prompt and courteous. When I read the first half of the article I am trying to think of a time that I have EVER seen a Surfer that was doing all these things they claim that they are doing.
Have I ever seen anything like they describe, no. All the surfers we have met in 11 years have been terrific and we enjoy watching them surf. Most of them are putting on and taking off wet suits, no big deal.
I find that if you want to ruminate about situations you can blow them out of proportion when the simple solution is communication. If they are blocking your driveway that is another issue but if it means just a
few more turns with the wheel what is the big deal?
Pretty soon people will move here and have a problem with turtle nests that block their path to the beach.
We will need another Turtle Patrol person to point the way for the turtles to nest in an appropriate location.
Let's try to work together to keep this Island the way it attracted all of us.
Have I ever had lots of cars on 30th St., yes but it is not only Surfers it is also during the 4th of July.
That is what makes this Island lifestyle so great.
Just thought you needed to hear some positive thoughts about Islanders that enjoy the Island and all the amenities, surfers, turtles, etc.
All the best,

Subject: Couple airs a wave of complaints about surfers
Comments: It would be a lot more productive for these relatively new island residents to try to get along with surfers instead of making everyone's lives more difficult. Local surfers aren't criminals or delinquents. Perhaps they could share that large driveway of theirs with a couple of surfers, making friends with them, and spread the word among the surfers to also be more considerate of the local homeowners and visitors.
My Grammy always taught me that you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.

Subject: Dod waste
Comments: I would like the community of Anna Maria to be aware of the amount of dog waste that is not being picked up.
I believe most of the problem comes from vacationers that do not respect our beautiful area. I watch people let ther dogs just poop where ever the want and do not pick it up. I have had several occasions were I have had to clean the front and back of my home do to dog waste just left there.
I live here, I have two woderful small dogs. My husband and I always pick up after our our dogs.
I watched a man let his 50 lb dog deficate right on the beach walk way, and just walk away.
Please , please try and inforce this ordinance.
