4th of July Fireworks @ The Weirs

I grew up going to the weekly fireworks at the Weirs by boat. It was a lot of fun, in part because there were a lot of friends (other teenagers) on nearby boats and a lot of social calling back and forth. That's probably not for a newbie, but going some other night when you have more night time experience and it's a little less crowded could be an adventure.

Not knowing where homeport is, it's hard to make other suggestions on locations, nav routes, etc. but generally, I'd consider watching from a spot not close to the center of activity, and not central to the exiting traffic from choke points.

The more I think about this,, the more I think,
1. Stay home until you have more experience. You can't do everything the first season and
2. Find an EXPERIENCED friend and ride on his boat at night until you develop your skills.
