patience
If you decide to go, it doesn't hurt to sit back and wait for a while after the show. Let everyone else race back. Then, take a slow ride home without as much pressure.
Dont go through Weirs Channel during the show or get too close. If the wind is blowing toward you, you and your boat can get covered with firework debris.
Alton Bay is the worst when leaving. Its much narrower and the residual waves can be severe.
Be alert and have multiple sets of eyes scouring your area.
