“Just did this for the first time a couple days ago and it was pouring rain. The poor boat man was worried we were going to going to ask for a refund or leave a bad review, because I guess that’s what he’s experienced in the past. We had a blast. It was basically just us and a couple other boats out there which I loved, and the river looked beautiful in the rain. We got soaked but I wouldn’t have traded that day for anything.”
