fireworks and fanfare

We dropped our 10 meter sedan off the lift and did a nice slow trawl out through the bay about 4 miles to where two barges were sitting for our firework display. This year marks Panama City's 100th anniversary as well, so we had two barges with 50K worth of fireworks. Two sets of neighbors rode along onboard and helped bring supper additions. We anchored in glass calm water among over 1000 other boats within 1/2 mile of the barges and listened to the stereo as the simulcast the songs to the fireworks. Beautiful uneventful night and got a ton of compliments on the Trojans layout from folks who haven't spent much time on her at night with us. 13' of back deck for all to enjoy and great visiblilty among the many of the outlaws runnning with broken running lights for their once a year night outing! with all the fuss and mess, fuel costs and headaches, sometimes its nice to take a slow troll with friends to make you slow down and just say Ahhhhh. Hope all of yours went as well....

Sehord, I bought my Trojan from Treasure Island Marina in Panama City Beach. Really enjoyed the times I flew down and went out. Great fun whenever I went down. I miss it at times.
Where do you keep your boat?
