After so long planning for this trip, the weekend had finally come and Dedrick couldn't wait to get to the island, as far away from what could be deemed civilization as possible. Allensworth Island seemed to be more of a tourist attraction, but if nothing else Dedrick was certain that they could at least camp near the beach. Surely there had to be at least one place on the island where people didn't come that often. Whatever the case, they would be able to figure it out, Chase and Yulia were supposed to meet him before they boarded the ferry after all. From there they would be able to figure out what the game plan was and where they would go from there.
Shouldering his backpack, Dedrick once again mentally went through all the supplies he had with him. Most of what he head was the necessities, food, clothing, water, rope, a tent, and other materials that would be useful in case of an emergency. Perhaps it was a bit overzealous of him to pack so much, but Dedrick preferred to be prepared rather wish for something that they didn't have. Even if it was to the island where there would certainly commodities available, they weren't going to behave like tourists. What they didn't bring with them, they could live without and learn from the experience later.
The ferry's horn sounded, alerting any stragglers that they needed to get on the ferry right then if they wished to make it to the island that day. Hopefully Chase and Yulia would get here soon, but if not they could certainly swim to the island. That would certainly be a fun, if exhausting race to the island, even if Dedrick wasn't quite sure how far the island was from the mainland. Ah well, with any luck Yulia and Chase would get here before too long and they would be able to board the ferry. After that, well, they could figure that out once they reached the island.
