OK, I will give it to you straight... Folks began arriving on Thursday afternoon, and once we got them sworn in to the silence ritual, the non-disclosure documents signed, and used to the blindfolds, we too a few of them out on the lake for a boat ride.
Friday morning was a little hectic, as we discovered that some really expected to catch fish, so we let one of them do the alligator tour, and have at the drum, or Silver Snapper as was explained last evening. That seemed to settle him down a bit, so we continued on to supper at the fancy place...
Yesterday evening, a few adult beverages seemed to settle folks, and the locals talked in code as we shared lots of "information", and stories of fabled events from years past... It was a bit hard to keep steering the conversation to the food on Saturday, but a few major decisions were made, and we enjoyed the view of all the fancy boats and the lake for a while. The meeting at the landing on Saturday morning was cancelled as it became obvious that some were planning to follow others out, and there was some talk of hitching boats together, which was deemed to be an unsafe act.
However, seeing as how everyone was in such a good mood, we decided to go forward with the cooking Saturday afternoon, and just roll with the flow on that.
Now, we have daylight approaching and we are all scattered at various ramps, which seemed to be the best way to handle all of this. I don't mind sharing this with you, but please keep it quiet!
