That looks more dangerous than fun.

Never fails- every year we go to a 4th of July fire works display on the boat- as soon as it's over- every yahoo immediatly tries to get on plane as if there's an incoming mortar!

some, clearly "impaired" with way too many people aboard a way too small boat often with inches of freeboard- in the dark !!!

We just sit on the anchor til they clear out watching the chaos hoping we don't need to assist in a rescue.

Same here - we anchor near an island (Castle Pinckney) in the middle of Charleston Harbor, and wait for everyone else to clear out ... then we putt home.

Look at this idiot - killed 1 woman - got off with $40,000USD fine ...

+1, I'm at the same Fireworks and at the end we just sit back and be entertained, it's way too dark on the Taunton river at night.

What's the BFD???? Looks like what I was fishing in last Dec. in Pokomoke Sound. This little Tri handled it all! We listed so hard one time the Port engine shut down because the oil pressure sensor sensed 0 pressure. LOVE my Tri!!
