?George,


I had thought about that solution, but no baggy large enough with me.


Well the day went fine, M8 took the wet just fine. ?The rain poncho was 
adequate protection and I took the camera out to take photos as needed. ? 
The M8 got quite wet when out but took it just fine. ?Wiped it off afterward 
ll is well. ?The myth of small amounts of water causing instant death are 
unfounded, as I already knew, and extreme wet as seen on the Maid of the 
Mist ride can be handled also with some care.?
