We had a wonderful 4th of July onboard Barco, we had many friends stop by and even some new friends were made that day!
The fireworks display was threatened by a strong thunderstorm that visited about 45 minutes before the show began, but the rain ended and the clouds went away giving us a crystal clear night sky to frame all of the pyrotechnic glory. The cool air was a bonus that everyone gratefully benefited from.
There was a crew of about ten folks onboard, not all got into our photos... Here is a short bit of what we saw yesterday (As usual, click on photo to enlarge):

You guys rock. Great pics and it looks like you all had a great time. A truly American celebration!
Between the pool party and the continuing party afloat, what's not to love about Barco and Crew?
MOST excellent!
Wow, those pictures look like a great 4th of July ... good times!
Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the nice comments and we at the Barco try our best to have fun. We do it because there are some folks out there who can not.
