Eastport Yacht Club Fireworks Scheduled for December 10

     Annapolis, Md. -- Mariners are advised that the Eastport Yacht Club will sponsor its annual fireworks display discharged from a barge located at the mouth of Spa Creek on Saturday, December 10 (no rain date), at approximately 8 p.m. The fireworks display follows the annual Eastport Yacht Club lights parade.
     As described in Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations Section 165.506, a temporary safety zone is established on specified waters of the Severn River and Spa Creek, within an area bounded by a line drawn from 38°58′39.6″ N, 076°28′49″ W, thence to 38°58′41″ N, 076°28′14″ W, thence to 38°59′01″ N, 076°28′37″ W, thence to 38°58′57″ N, 076°28′40″ W, located near the entrance to Spa Creek in Annapolis, Maryland.
     This zone will be enforced from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on December 10 and is necessary to control vessel traffic for safety of life and property on navigable waters during the display. The effect will be to restrict vessel traffic on specified waters of the Severn River and Spa Creek.
     The fireworks barge will have a sign on its port and starboard sides labeled FIREWORKS--DANGER--STAY AWAY to provide on scene notice that the safety zone will be enforced. Vessels may not enter, remain in, or transit through the safety zone during the enforcement period unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port or designated Coast Guard patrol personnel on scene. Other Federal, State and local agencies may assist these personnel in the enforcement of the safety zone.
