The next cruise will be over to Merritt Island on the East coast on February 26th -28th. Due to the large number of people who want to get their boats in the water, we’ve made a change to the marina. Instead of Cocoa Village Marina, we will be staying at Harbortown Marina in Merritt Island. We will still make the Cocoa Village Mardi Gras the main event of the weekend.

The Gasparilla Pirate Festival is an annual celebration held in the city of Tampa, Florida. Held each year in late January and hosted by Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla and the City of Tampa, it celebrates the apocryphal legend of José Gaspar (Gasparilla), supposedly a Spanish pirate captain who operated in Southwest Florida. The theme is an “invasion” by Gasparilla and his men, which begins when the “Krewe” (made up of residents of the city) arrives on a 165′ long pirate ship, the Jose Gaspar, in Tampa Bay and land near downtown Tampa. The mayor of Tampa then lends the key of the city to the pirate captain and a parade ensues down Bayshore Boulevard, one of Tampa’s major streets. The krewes throw beads, coins and other items while shooting blank pistols from floats during the parade. The average attendance for the event is over 400,000 people. According to the event’s official website, 2003’s Gasparilla parade affected an economic impact of nearly 23 million dollars to Tampa.

Ten boats and four drive-ins came to Hontoon Island to enjoy homemade chili and fun on the dock. We had a total of 28 people, plus numerous visitors from a local dealership cruise club. In spite of dire predictions, the weather was great except for some rain late Saturday night. Most boats arrived Friday, and we spent the time socializing and playing Mexican Train dominoes. On Saturday, we played some Corn Hole and held the chili contest in the afternoon.
