4th of July Fireworks on the Hudson - CG Regulations

4th of July already?

It appears to be more or less the same as last year, including a special viewing section for human-powered boats.
Click here for the full CGAN (excerpted below) and the chart.

The Captain of the Port New York has established a Special Local Regulation temporarily restricting vessel movement on the waters of the Hudson River in the vicinity of Manhattan, NY and Hudson County, NJ for the annual Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks Display (see chartlet below). This Special Local Regulation will be strictly enforced on Thursday, July 4th, 2013 from 6:00 pm until approximately 11:00 pm. All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the Coast Guard Captain of the Port or the designated representative. 

All spectator vessels must be inside the designated viewing areas by 8:00 pm and in position no later than 8:30 pm. Vessels shall be required to hold position (NOT at anchor) and not depart the section until released by the on-scene Coast Guard Commander. This information will be broadcast via VHF-FM CHANNEL 12, 13, 14, and 16. Coast Guard recommends all vessels gather towards the center of the Hudson River. 
All spectator vessels shall maintain a 100 yard distance from any Coast Guard vessel at anchor, at all times.
