Sounds like a great trip! I share your approval of the Caribou, it's my favorite rental boat. MBK is great to work with - too bad you didn't catch their rental equipment sale coming up in October ($25 wetsuits!). I took some sea kayak classes from them. Re:For instance, does anyone use a CamelBak [or similar] hydration device on their deck? I've been using a camelback on my deck, running the straps under the front deck bungies. It still slides around a bit during rolls and heats up on warm days, but I have yet to find a more "quick and convenient" way to hydrate on long trips where a water bottle won't suffice. Loop the tube around a bungie so it sticks up towards you, and you have "hands free" hydration. I know PFDs come with "bladder pockets", but I believe they would interfere with flotation and comfort. Anyone try one of these models? I know they are expensive.
