Rather than spending an entire weekend of playing devils advocate and asking yourself what if why didn’t you go to the source (Bob) and view for yourself at the registration desk the three ring binder full of city,county,and hotel requirements and permits which took three months to accomplish. For the record the beach width is the same at the public areas as it is on the south end. Three football fields was the length that even you with a hundred jumps could hit.
If you call the Marco Island airport, you will find as I did that Jet-A was $3.60 a gallon not $2.40 as most are accustomed to paying. If you are looking for a discount Boogie, go to one of Mullins or Dollar Days on Labor Day not an exclusive beach resort doing a fund raiser for a good cause (Tsunami relief)
I spoke with Bob before we left and not surprisingly no one asked for a registration refund. Under the circumstances would you really like to be the first?
