Scooter arrives at the designated meeting place on the edge of campus a few minutes before 1:15. His excitement over the plan had ebbed a bit during the night, but it's been rapidly returning to full strength ever since he woke up this morning. He distracts himself by riffling through the contents of his little orange backpack. It isn't much of a distraction.

Slowing to a trot, Red eventually ended up walking until he was next to Scooter. He peered over his shoulder to see what was so interesting in his backpack.

Sensing Red's presence next to him, Scooter looks up from his riffling. The contents of his pack aren't that interesting - there're the standard thermos flask of cocoa and packet of cookies, but he hasn't brought much else besides a small flashlight and a bit of soft fabric to cushion any cool things they might come across. "Hey, Red. Ready to go?"

"I've been waiting all morning!" he said. Looking off in the direction they were heading, he licked at his nose. "Want to ride?"

Red stopped in his tracks and turned to face in the direction of what would be considered the other side of the island as if he could see it. "Will we want to walk the entire footprint of the island?"

"I don't know if we can, actually. I think there are parts of the coastline that aren't passable on foot - particularly the area behind the school." Scooter looks around consideringly. "Maybe there's some other way, though?"

Out on the water, bobbing like toys in a bathtub, small sailboats scooted across the surface. The idea hit Red and he craned his neck to look at Scooter. "How are you at sailing?"

"Well," Scooter pauses, thinks, continues, "I haven't done much of it, but I went to visit the set when Kermit and everyone were filming Treasure Island and we got to take some little boats - dinghies? - out a couple of times and sail about the harbor." Then he catches on to the purpose of Red's question and continues, thinking aloud. "I guess those people out sailing have a dock on the opposite shore - I haven't seen amything like a boat launch around here."
