We need a licensed pyrotechnician to buy this stuff & sadly he reqiures a permit & liability insurance to set it off.
I'm meeting him today to scope out a site, I'm hoping for a beach launch somewhere between the stairs.
The permit requirements are 300' clear all around so Clover or Holland Point may work too.

These things can carry a couple of ounces of cargo each...

AC, how big is your boat? I'll ask about a boat launch.

Hold your cash for the time being 'till we sort out the details & dates.

Met with Don from AFA Fireworks tonight, we're planning Finlayson Point for the set up & launch site.
We can rope off everything south of the sidewalk.
Plan for an evening BBQ/pot luck/beers, wait till dark & let er rip... 55 ( one for each of Johnny's years) smaller white flares, then all 5 5" rockets go up at once in John's last blast.
