These shots are from the Dublin Lake Club's 4th of July Fireworks Show that happened on Sunday, July 1st. The fireworks were set off on a barge that was placed in the middle of the water and observers could see the beautiful 15 minute show from any vantage point around the lake. The shot at the top is from the actual dock we work on as sailing instructors. The boats are out of the water because our sailing dock was used as the fireworks barge. The docks are in an L-shape with the 420s, Optis, and our one Zodiac (like the Navy Seals use) moored to it. I actually played a part in the show since I now work at the club and was tasked with setting up one of the displays by putting the charges in the 3-inch tubes and then towing the barge out on to the water. I didn't know that regular people could be certified to set up shows like these and our Club president and another member are qualified to run the whole thing from the wiring, to the placement and then operating it on shore with a computer. It was quite a first day working at the Lake Club as sailing instructor. (Click on any of the shots to see the full picture.)
