<p>This Fourth of July, <a href="http://pika.mit.edu/">pika</a> launched the
Couchboat Mark II and paddled it down the river to watch the epic
fireworks show put on every year by Boston/Cambridge.</p>

<p>The boat was an all-day operation and incredibly slow in the water, but
so worth it. We watched the fireworks less than a hundred meters from
the launch barge.</p>
