The weather forecast isn't great, so we make a comparatively early start. Good breakfast, then load up the boat and head to the first base camp spot (off Tasiilaartik fjord). We unload the boat and then wander around for a bit looking for the best site that's not too far away. This doesn't take all that long. After moving everything to the site, we pitch all the tents and get moved in, pitch the group tent, eat, and start setting up the perimeter.
After camp is mostly setup we go for a hike around the corner along the fjord to do a bit of recon and check out some cool looking slabs. The slabs look great, but there's no obvious way to protect them, so no climbing this afternoon for us. The anticipated rain starts, so we head back to camp. More food, dinner, more rain... but things are dry(ish) in the group tent. After dinner we finish setting up the bear perimeter in the rain... that's a goat rodeo, but we eventually finish. Then: sleeeeep.
