Leaving Colonel By Island with its strange, dilapidated (and boarded up) house.

This is the kind of place made for haunted house stories.

We weren’t bothered by ghosts but we were visited by the resident mink in the night (our houseboat neighbors told us about her).

Sometime in the middle of the night we awoke to loud sniffing outside the tent. @toesalad thought it was me, I thought it was him. But it was not either of us. We whacked the side of the tent and shortly afterward heard a loud splash as it entered the water to swim back to its beachhead home.

It was really loud as it entered the water. We heard it twice in the night. I would have thought it would be more stealthy.
