Night One: The Dark Figure and the White Man

   Today starts the spooky trip. We woke up this morning at Basecamp ready to go; however, the winds had a different idea. After breakfast, the winds were coming straight from the south, which would give us a headwind all day and leave us in wide-open water. Zara and I both had rough experiences with the wind in the south the last session and do not want to have another situation. Nate has also decided to join us on trail and agrees that going south is not a fun idea. We decided to go to Little Triscuit for our first night.
   The day was spent paddling up the tug and we arrived at our destination in the early afternoon. Just as we pulled up and finished setting up the tents a rainstorm hit hard. We took shelter in our tents, the guides read fairytales and the campers played games. When the storm passed we had beautiful weather to cook dinner.
   Our dinner tonight was supposed to be Mac & Cheese, but we realized that we forgot to pack the boxes of Mac & Cheese. We did, however, pack extra pasta noodles for another meal, crumbled beef by accident, cheese powder for popcorn, and couscous for our emergency meal. With those ingredients and a can of mixed vegetables, our camper worker was able to make a type of Mac & Cheese. We named the new meal Yellow One Pot or Cheeseburger pasta. 
   After dinner, we three guides collected blueberries in an attempt to make blueberry wine. We finished the evening with a snack of popcorn and headed to bed. In the tents, we read a few stories, including Grimm's fairytales and a story of The W.
