Have a great weekend Dave! I will be provisioning for my Bahamas trip and storm prepping for the first storm of the season to pass (Elsa)...Lovely...NOT!!!!
 
Thanks Grant.
Be safe my friend!
 
Looking forward to a nice weekend here in CA, The crazy heat wave is easing but the liberal wienies that are in charge have, out of an abundance of caution decided to cancel public fireworks displays citing Co-Vid 19 concerns in the state that is leading the nation in vaccination rates. Gee do you wonder if they doubt the effectiveness of the vaccine that they insisted we all take? Funny, they will still have the festival in the park with vendors and music! How will that be less of a threat of spread than people gathering to watch some fireworks. I think it is a concerted effort to purge the displays because it is "actually" a celebration of violent white supremacy ......BS!
Enjoy the weekend anyway and be safe out there.

I wonder if the public ban is a liberal weenie deal only in Northern California? We will be on a mooring in Newport Beach starting tomorrow through Monday. There is a great boat parade put on by the American Legion in the afternoon of the 4th followed that evening by multiple firework shows in the area. I’m a member at Post 291 and our mooring is close to the clubhouse in the “F” field, so any CSR members are welcome to stop by for a drink.
 
I know that there are other shows in the area, Baron Hilton puts on a show at Mandeville Cut out in the delta that is a hoot but it draws several thousand boats so we have steered clear of there for years.
 
The “Big Bay Boom” is still happening in San Diego. It’s a pretty awesome display launched from four different barges all synchronized to music. We’re already on the hook in Glorietta Bay. Quite a few boats here already seeing as its only Friday AM…
 
Nice day here in Newport before the fireworks tomorrow.

Rained all day here on Long Island today. Hopefully if clears up tomorrow but Monday is supposed to be the best day of the long weekend. Enjoy the rest of your trip Dave!

Wishing ALL my American neighbours a happy and safe 4th of July! We truly miss being able to drop in and say hello whether by boat or car, and hope that that issue is resolved asap. I'll be enjoying seeing you celebrate from the Canadian side of the border tonight - your fireworks are insane!! From our marina, we can see dozens of different sites along the river and lake setting off impressive displays from about 9PM thru to after 1AM. I picture a line of transport trucks lined up, full of fireworks that unload, setup, fire, then repeat with the next truck. So cool USA!!
 
We had a great 4th on the hook. Lots of friends and family joined us throughout the day and the finale was spectacular with a 180 degree view of three separate firework displays in the harbor.
