The fireworks trick used to be to rent a canoe down there near the wharf and paddle down a ways. The fireworks are better on the water anyway. If you went around the south side you missed most of the traffic going in and you paddled up to 3 sisters to wait out the traffic going out. I think midnight was the cut off for returning the canoe. We did the boat thing in a 15' Whaler. Loads of fun. Daughter had a great time in her little raft paddling around all the other boats. We'd come up from Ft. Belvoir. But, all good things come to an end, and we had to take the boat back to Ft. Belvoir. Keep in mind that the captains of all these 35'ers had been guzzling beer all day! I was never as afraid on a boat as I was on that cruise back to Ft. Belvoir. Once was plenty. That is why we went up toward 3 sisters. Boat guys are not coming up there very often after dark. We did the trip down from Ft Washington once in a 17' runabout but it was not all that much fun. |
