Poulsbo Fireworks-July 3rd

Poulsbo holds it's fireworks on July 3rd. Even though this seems strange, a lot of people go to this fireworks on the 3rd and then another one elsewhere on the 4th.

My yacht club usually has a cruise for the night of the 3rd and then retreats to Bremerton for the 4th. We had a light turnout with only 6 boats and rafted out in Liberty Bay. The weather was clear and HOT. I had a good sail from Brownsville to Poulsbo. The bay was filled with anchored boats, as normal. I had a little trouble finding our boats that had arrived earlier. We were very close to the "line of death" around the area where the fireworks barge was anchored. This gave us a really good view and the concussion from the bombs was outstanding.

After the show, and the boats not spending the night departed, it was quiet through the night. I motored home on Saturday.

Our small raft of boats. Notice all the anchored boats in the background.
Tom and Bob refilling at the potluck. Crab, salmon and lots of other dishes to devour! Yum!!

Sun going down, where are the fireworks?

Here they are!
