Tonight the old blowout preventer (BOP) shall be removed by BP. Its failing had caused this summer's big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  A new BOP will be installed. This shall prevent another spill, in case the final sealing of the well does not go according to plan.

After many weeks of only bad "oil-news", the last weeks were only good. The spill was stopped, no oil ever endangered Southwest Florida's coastlines. Our vacation home guests enjoy Cape Coral, our beaches, boating on the Gulf of Mexico, shopping .... - and soon the Macondo well should be sealed permanently.

Sea Breeze International Management Corp. offers upscale Florida vacation homes, close to the Gulf of Mexico. All "seabim" homes offer heated swimming pools and hi-speed wifi. Most are located right on the water, some featuring Gulf access or lake views.  Seabim vacation rentals are always very well maintained and clean - for an unparalleled vacation experience. --- Heimo Langenbach, www.seabim.com.
