Ha! My problem is, we hyped it up before we even considered that we would end up taking them there!
The other issue is that the husband of the couple THROWs himself into researching every aspect of anything we do. It's freaking awesome when he finds out the best place to rent snowmobiles because they do this or that thing that the other places don't - or the perfect hotel in Canada that sits directly under the path of the eclipse. It's kind of ironic because I happily turn all that stuff over to him because he's so good at it.
For this trip I'm certain he has watched every single YouTube video on 1) picking up a mooring, 2) itineraries, 3) anchorages. To be clear, he doesn't do this to second guess me or to drive the decisions, he just truly enjoys immersing himself in new stuff and really likes to be prepared. I totally get it - it's what I do too and I think it's one of the reasons we are close friends. And it's great too because having done this immersion, he's going to be extremely handy to have on the boat. It's almost a little sad though that he's not going to be surprised by anything. Obviously, he can't get a feel for the FEELING of the place through those videos - and that's probably the best part anyway.
And Laura, I DO know at least one thing he will be surprised with - thanks to you; wink, wink :-)
