really like is to have me put me in one of my little 12' MiniCup
sailboats, douse her with diesel, haul her out beyond the 3 mile limit
and set her alight. I bet it'd be illegal.

Use enough fuel and fertilizer to do it Islam style and they won't find

If you really want spectacle, fill an RIB (or just a rubber life raft)
with acetylene and oxygen at the right mix to burn blue.
Then you only need a tea cup of gasoline to get it going but you
better be able to light this puppy from pretty far away.
I know a crazy friend of mine set off a regular inner tube full in

A garbage bag of the stuff is plenty loud. Wear hearing protection,
and enjoy feeling the concussion all over your body. Adjust to what
they call a neutral flame, and then put the torch out by dipping it in
sand. It will burn under water, although lighting it there is tricky.
