Skitch,
Did you ever make it to Tice's Shoal on the 4th?
And just out of curiosity, were you able to see anything of the BH fireworks
from your location?

Yea, we got there. It was less crowded than I expected and we had a good time
barbecuing, swimming, laying about and rowing the dog to shore (oh, check that
last part). We did make out the fireworks on LBI, but actually there were
about three other fireworks displays that we saw better. We could watch
whichever one rotated into our field of view as the boat swung.

Did you get there during the week? I recall you said you were going to try.
