gasparillas comin!
 

anybody planin for this?its alot of fun!!!!!!!!

Offshore Addiction...

I have been in the state for many years and have never been able to make it over for the event... One huge party so everyone
say!! I asked a friend last week, who is planning on attending,
and he said it is quite restricted relative to bringing a boat for
the event... Any input on that point and is there a link for any
further information, schedule and the like...

Tnx, Karl

theres absolutly no restrictions?should be 2-1-03,the pirate ship leaves out around 11 am,thousands of boats,parades on bayshore,big huge festival!!!!!!!!

Gasparilla is an awesome time....but I usually try to get on someone else's boat, because I would never dare take mine. :D

If you value your boat, I would leave it home the first time to see for yourself. Last year was a friggin mess....There are literally thousands of boats packed in like sardines and occasionally a larger ship thinks they are getting through. It was like bumper boats when he throttled up.....boats getting sucked in, thrown around and banged up against the side of the ship.....

It's one hell of a party, though!

WOA, talk about your traffic jams. Bumper boats at the best.

great shots baja daze,that was a real ***** that year with the ship tryin to clear the shipping lanes,one year i had a bow pulpit over the rear seat of the st. tropez I was runnin,and our bow pulpit over the boat in front of us and some coast guard guy yellin at me to move,it was funny cause I told him to stand on the side of his boat and steer ours,we were that close,he kinda smiled and waved us on laughin the whole time! and like baja daze said......LOTS OF BEADS!

Thanks Daze...

I appreciate the advice on riding on another persons boat... Don't
think I would like any version of bumper boats... Maybe this year I will give it a shot from land...

Tnx, Karl

.....but it's fun to be a pirate!
