IslandPrincess and I were there along with another couple and a family. Great show!!!!!
The MP came by right across our bow and asked us to move further from the barge, although it sure seemed as if we were more than 150 feet away. No problem - just moved back. They circled in front of the boats another time, too. The storm in the background was also quite spectacular! The storm that hit Rattlesnake later on (or at least this part of Rattlesnake) was quite something as well. Great job with the fireworks, for sure!!! Thank you! |

Sitting on our dock, we got two impressive light shows. To the right, colorful fireworks, to the left the lightening show, also spectacular.
The storm around midnight was so late, I was too lazy to get up and look... It was lighting up the sky from what I could see through the little window. The air conditioner blocked the thunder. ![]()

Glad you all enjoyed the show. MP was a bit worked up over the storms, just about 9pm they even advised us to get it going asap. Our family has enjoyed shooting off July fireworks for many many years here. Every year we just try to improove from the prior year. Unfortunately this year we had two small technical difficulties. About 3 displays into the smaller batch the fuse went out and we had about a 10 minute delay getting it going again. Then one of the speaker wires got pulled out and that took a few mins to fix.
From the viewing angle your boats had, were you able to see the display that was launched into the water and then they all rose up and shot up from the lake? |

Over to your right, towards G. H. mooring field...we could see them just fine...weren't sure how they were going off. I thought there was a floating string of fireworks.
Great show...thanks for allowing us to share with you.

My husband and I were in the well lit wood kayaks! The Marine Patrol was very nice and respectful and simply concerned about us getting back to shore if a storm came. We found all the boaters on the lake to be very friendly, as well. We LOVED being on the lake to watch the fireworks - a first for us! Thank so much Fireworks People!

Sorry we missed the fireworks. Marine Patrol suggested we head home due to oncoming storm. Was there wonderful patriotic music played like they did last year? |

One question: There appeared to be 2 sites involved. At one, there were some speeches going on and some kind of rally or political gathering of sorts. Maybe it just looked that way - hard to tell from out in the bay. Any ideas about what the speeches were all about and/or who was involved? I heard one statement to the effect of "we lost this time, but we'll be back" or something like that. This is not an exact quote. |

Not sure about 2 sites? This may explain the sound variations though. At our family's cookout, the head of household uses the microphone to thank all his guests, and to thank all those who work hard helping him put together his giant cookout and fireworks display. When he is done, we start the music up, lite the wik and away we go! This year he spoke twice because he jumped back on when the wik went out after 2 displays.
