Time for a pirate.

Recently friends Pat and Deneice and I met this bonny fellow at the Sponge Docks at Tarpon Springs, Florida.
A lifesize hand-painted resin sculpture. $875.00. Sorry if you want one, but I've no further reference.

A red tide bloom in the 1940's pretty much wiped out the sponge business in the Gulf. Now the Sponge Docks are kitschy shops and tourist attractions, that try, but fail to convey the rich history of the area.
