  2. I remember when one of them made the fateful decision to try to bring a ship into Tampa bay during a thunderstorm in the early 80's....knocked down the Sunshine Skyway bridge....

    1. I was there, and drove the Skyway 3 times a week.

    2. What’s left of the old bridge is a pretty good fishing pier. The uprights on the new bridge are protected by huge concrete barriers. I have to drive across it every time we leave St. Pete to go visit the in-laws in Fort Myers.
