Thanks to all those that responded to my original question. Although
most people addressed the correct way of shooting fireworks from a
stationary point, a few people did address the problem of shooting them
from a boat (very UNstationary). From the responses I received I guess
it is better not to take pictures of fireworks from a boat at all. The 
exposure times are too long and a moving tripod doesn't help. I 
haven't gotten the pictures back yet, all I can do is hope.

By the way, Modern Photography gives the following recommendations (based
on Kodak):

		ASA		Recommended Aperture

		25			f//4.5
		50			f/5.6
		64			f/5.6
		100			f/8
		160			f/11
		200			f/11
		400			f/16
		1000			f/22

They, too, recommended exposure at "B" to give better shots.
