TAMPA, Fla. — The Gasparilla invasion has been shortened due to the expected choppy waters in the Hillsborough Bay.

Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla said Jose Gasparilla II will sail from Port Tampa Bay to the Tampa Convention Center on Saturday. The invasion typically starts from the southern end of Hillsborough Bay, making the modified route about half a mile shorter.

The Krewe’s marine experts advise captains of local vessels to closely monitor weather conditions and exercise sound judgment when boating on Saturday morning.

Chief Meteorologist Denis Phillips is forecasting very rough waters in Tampa with 40 KT gusts.
