I was born a year later. I find this everybody telling somebody to leave their M8 at home don't bring it on the Maid in the Mist to be exceedingly wimpy. Check Flicker to see some of the tens of thousands of pictures taken on the boat every single day for decades by the multitudes.. The raincoats they provide now are way thinner than in 1950 but I bet they work just fine. Keep your camera under the raincoat. And in a camera bag of some sort. If you want to be exceedingly paranoid they have these new things now called plastic bags. I think they're made of Saran Wrap not sure. Having your picture taken on the Maid in the Mist not just on your honeymoon but for whatever else as been a tradition going back tens of thousands of years to the cave man era. They brought UR and O prototypes in droves.. This was 1914 BCE. Late Cavemen. Mark William Rabiner
