Has anyone here ever taken their kayak out and anchored to watch one of the many fireworks displays around town?

Was just wondering the same. Bet the drunks and wakes would make for some scarey situations by the Landing.

Not saying this to be a grump, but it sounds like a tragedy waiting to happen.

I have to agree with Chris.

As long as you have proper lighting to keep the power boats away you should be good. Not sure where you plan to go? Downtown on the river might be a different story.

I could see doing it in St. Augustine safely and have always planed to but never get around to it. If you launched at Vilano and went to the west end of the islands, you could park shallow enough that other boats wouldn't be a factor or beach on the islands and get a great view.

This is very do-able just stay to the west end and you should be just fine and in Fact you will have a front row seat but downtown jax around the landing would be suicide

Definitely not at the landing, I know better than that. I was thinking about St. Augustine or near Mayport. My lighting will be set up this week. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not yet.

I would be scared of the drunks in boats...

Boats are what I'm always scared of out on the water.

I don't know of any kind of lighting that will repel drunks on holidays

I think Marine Po Po lighting repels them, though I'm not sure it's legal on your vessel

That's what I should do, get a beacon for the front of my yak!

I like this idea.

Then to. avoide the drunks,fish from shore after the show and paddle back when the coast is clear, you can
also gig around the shallows of the islands
