Went out on a friend's boat with his family (fairly extended) for the best fireworks I have seen- we were anchored about 500 yards from shore, outside of the middle of the three barges they used for launching. It was well synchronized and really spectacular. The last flourish was a large group of huge displays that spread out over hundreds of yards and then, one went straight up through the middle and burst over everything else.

Here's the boat- he just got it (mostly his wife's idea) and it handles incredibly well. We took it out on Friday, for the shake-down cruise when he bought it, then again on Saturday- he decided to hang out about halfway through the cruise, so he asked if I wanted to be in charge. Easier to dock in a side wind than the other boat, too.



When we were heading back last night, we towed another boat in that had stopped running, too.
