Default Fireworks on the Chesapeake?

Awesome - just what I was looking for. As I'll be new to the Chesapeake
this year I'd rather walk than boat to a 4th fireworks show.

Any good fireworks to be seen via boat around the Chesapeake bay for

Labor
Day?

Fort McHenry has fireworks a few times a year, They are having them the
weekend after Labor day for Defenders Day.

Fireworks in the Inner Harbor are great on the Forth of July. but, the
Harbor is really crowded. A few years ago you could almost walk across

the
harbor the boats were so tight.

Drunks are all over the harbor on the 4th. I've seen many boats getting
stopped for drinking. Many arrests too. The ramps on Boston Street and
Waterview Ave. are fun to watch after the fireworks. It's total bedlam

when
hundreds of boats rush to get there first.

The past 2 years I've stayed in my slip in the Inner Harbor. The set the
fireworks off right off our main pier. You almost have to look straight

up
to see them.
