The best way to enjoy safe boating on the 4th is to stay off your boat
and let the drunken crazies kill each other while you are elsewhere.

That's my plan.

Been my plan for the past 30 years. :)

With the 4th on Wednesday this year... the problem is defining the real
"Holiday Weekend".

Here on Lake Hartwell we decided that it was gonna be a 9 day "Holiday Week"
starting Sat 6/30 and ending Sunday 7/8.

As for the boat traffic - I try to get to Beer Can Island (tm) early and
leave late on the bad weekends to miss all the traffic. Also... if we go to
the fireworks show - I tend to troll home in the shallows - out of harms
way. Last year my anchor got stuck and I had to cut it free....

Last year I had a moron cut across my bow towing a tube - cutting it WAY too
close.

Oh!

And don't forget to shoot off all your expired flares on the 4th - be a
Patriot - not a sheeple.

What convinced me was the three body recovery calls for the Regional
Dive Teams three years in a row.

I forget the exact stats... but we lose about 3 a year here on Hartwell.
And I'd bet a high percentage are holiday yahoo types.
