Fwd: 4th of July Fireworks on the Hudson - CG Regulations

I'm re-posting this so it's easy for people to find before tomorrow's
fireworks. See below and be safe.
Happy Independence Day.

This year's fireworks display and associated CGAN appear 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.
