Hello everyone! My name is Jeff Newton and I am creating this GF page for my friend Mark "the Reel Pirate" DesErmia. Mark is a well-known part of our Anna Maria Island Community, and longtime treasure hunter. Here is his dilemma and my reason for starting this page. In Mark's own words:

I would like to let everyone know Mark DesErmia ( the Reel Pirate) had his almost brand new outboard motor stolen off of his sailboat that he & his Parrot Reno live aboard. Mark has recovered & returned countless valuable and sentimental items of lost jewelry. Including many wedding rings & family heirlooms asking for nothing in return. Mark is now at risk of being ticketed for a derelict vessel & in harms way when foul weather comes through. Please help someone who has helped so many others.
