Well, since it's your first trip, I'm sure that, like most of us here, you'll love it and return for many more. So, planning it out is fun for a rough guide, but be aware that the weather will probably pin you down for a day or two every week to 10 days (it's fun to hang out in North Sound or The Bight when this happens) and don't stress out if you don't make it to all your hoped-for stops because you'll be back so save a couple!, be flexible as said above, and don't get in a hurry - in the boat nor in the restaurants! Plus, you might want to veg a day here and there. Also to echo above, when you walk into a shop or restaurant, greet the staff or proprietor with a smile and "Good morning (afternoon, evening, whatever), how are you today?"
