'Kay, like, you officially live in the coolest place in the world!
Hehe, well, some of the time it seems that way.  There are drawbacks to a remote location too.  Sunrise over the ocean is one of few things worth getting up That Early for LOL
We do have a ton of 'merican summer visitors, usually, many of whom own property here.  And, haha, I feel the same 'move there in half a second' about Hawaii LOL
I sympathize with the clouded-out disappointment.  BOTH transits of Venus (for one, I drove frantically all over the island trying to find a hole in the fog; on a back road I got about 30 seconds' glimpse)... the transit of Mercury (spent more time trying to FIND the sun through the cloud, as it was too dim for the solar filter, than I spent actually looking at it (11 seconds??))... and so on.  So this was a lucky weather break.  
It was definitely not crowded.  No one else was nuts enough to be on the edge of a cliff down a grass track at 5:15 a.m.  LOL

...How long were you out taking photos (eg how long did the passage take?).  And were there many other lunar-gazers out there as well?  
There was a doll; she was just on the previous page wink
The eclipse took 2 hours.  Fortunately the site wasn't too far into the ex-campground with easytogetloston gravel roads, so it only took about 20 minutes to get there.  I don't know that anyone else watched.  Certainly no one on the cliff; there is one person on the island who's into astronomy that I'd ex.pect would've been interested, but it often seems to me like a lot of people here aren't really interested in that sort of thing.
