Lightnings and Pirate Ships... WTF?

Only place in the world where you can't stop and take a picture of your truck without one those ships butting into the shot.

Nice Picture Rich! We pulled up next to the Pirate during Spring Break, one year, on a 52 foot sail boat and yelled GIVE US YOUR WOMEN! Quite a few were ready to jump ship!

That is an awesome shot, Rich. What pillar did you go with for your phantom gauges?

I went with the Autometer 2 gauge pod(nitrous & boost). I used Ford interior plugs to attach it. Looks factory, IMO.

No. It was just a party ship. Matter of fact, they were singing Y.M.C.A. as they were passing behind me. Two sheets to the wind, I'm sure...

Funny

Nice photos. It's kinda funny b/c I was on working for a client in Tampa for 8 weeks last year, and a ship just like that docked across the street from my hotel in Clearwater Beach. Is that taken on the land bridge that goes from Tampa to Clearwater? It looks real familiar.

You are close, sir....
It's actually just before the bridge between Clearwater Beach and downtown. Took a bunch of great shots there on Saturday.

You are the new Photoshop master.

That pirate ship is kept out at Clearwater beach so it's the one you saw out there.

Well, one of those anyway.

Cool

Yeah, and it docks next to a giant dolphin chasing speedboat right? Hehe, when I was there , a car went right up into that big round fountain at the end of that road. It was perched up on an angle. It must have been flying to climb up those steps! I was at the Hilton right across from the fountain.
