We went out , but stayed out near Hart Millers Island with only about 20 other boats. We weren't very close to any of the shows but we could see about 50 going on at the same time. It was nice scanning the horizon, and seeing a display every two or three degrees.
Our short ride home was uneventful, except for when we got to within 150 feet of the cut. Just as we came off plane, some absolutely clueless guy in a small center console comes flying out of the shallows between the two islands and crosses our bow about 60 feet ahead of us. We had been watching him, but we figured that he was just headed for the channel as well and would slow before entering it. Its a good thing that we were already slowing down because it would have been extremely close if we had kept our previous speed. I really don't think he saw us at all...
Beautiful night, otherwise...
