Me and me krewe set sail to Bayshore Boulevard, where me hearties had ‘nother jolly time at the Gasparilla Children’s Parade! Arrrrrggh!
Aye, there were an abundance of beads to be looting and stowing in our coffers…
…and a few other treasures for scurvy pirates to pillage.
Some very serious swashbucklers had to no time for merriment or photos where there be beads for pilfering.
A topgallant pirate, who had earned her sea legs years ago, showed me younger shipmate the ropes of grabbing the beads.
Though there be no rum, me hearties enjoyed a bountiful of Pirate Booty and Chobani Champions yogurt tubes for their merriment.
Aye, but this young Swashbuckler set his sights on the Chobani truck for his next vessel.
As the sun set over the bay, our pirate adventure came to an end with me hearties’ arms full of treasure.
