Good note. I'm hoping to get a small sailboat in the upcoming years. I'll be careful where I anchor based on this.
I spent new years 2013 in Guatemala waaaaaaayyyyyy too close to a box of exploding fireworks, while high on LSD. My buddy screamed "we're in the blast zone, RUN!" and took off. I thought to myself "this is the best visuals EVER, and they'll never let me be this close to fireworks ever again, I'm not going ANYWHERE" while the exploding fireworks made everything look like I was jumping to hyperspace in the Millennium Falcon. Good times
