Can't wait till the fourth!
I spent New Years on yacht in Bequia a few years back. Our skipper, along with a whole heap of others, let off their old and expired rocket flares during the evening. A disturbing amount shattered once set off, and flew in a non to reliable way, horizontally through the crowds on the beach, hitting masts, dinghies and the like or just fizzing a few feet from where they were launched.
Not entirely safe, but made for some hilarious, if some what frantic and impromptu dance moves! :)
Hey do they have the Fourth of July in England?
I am sorry, but it falls between the 3rd and the 5th even in england! Every one has the fourth!:p :eek: :D
Yeah, the flares,smoke etc are illegal in my country for civilians. But i pack a small mirror, sausage, whistle and high pitch air horn as part of my BC gear. Never pays to be prepared!
Folks, lets get this whole July 4th thing in context. At the time, it was a bunch of British colonials who were rebelling against an oppressive German King and his ridiculous tax demands. And we won!
To my American friends ....... you are welcome! ;)
