July 4th Boating

July 4th is one of my favorite boating days of the year. Unlike Memorial Day or Labor Day, July 4th usually brings perfect boating weather - hot and sunny - and a ton of fun things to do.

Tops on my list is decorating the boat and watching the fireworks from the water. What about you? How do you celebrate July 4th, our nation's Independence Day?
