Apart — Kevin at the garden, Jenny at the dock

Midday Rain Lull

Kevin is at the garden checking the wall, and Jenny is at the dock inspecting the mooring lines.

Kevin works on the third course of the garden wall, clearing rubble to stabilize the new section. Jenny spends the afternoon at the dock inspecting the Yanmar engine and the mooring lines as the tide recedes.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the garden

You notice the soil is becoming saturated, but the two courses of stone are holding for now.

Kevin — walk to the shed, fetch the roll of geotextile and a spade

💭 peek at the thought

The wall's holding. Good. Mortar's still green but the rubble backfill's taking the pressure. Need to get geotextile down before the next spring tide or the fines will wash out through the joints.

Kevin — wipe hands on trousers, walk back toward the cottage for a mug of tea

💭 peek at the thought

Geotextile's down, pinned with stones. Backfill's tamped in layers. Wall's breathing now — water weeping through the fabric, not the mortar. Good enough for this tide cycle.

Kevin — finish tea, set mug down, head to the dock to prep the dinghy

💭 peek at the thought

Tea's hot. Hands are clean. Rain's stopped for now. The barometer's still steady at 1021. Should run the Yanmar sea trial while the water's flat — get hours on the fresh sleeve and the new bendix before the next blow.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the dock

The new rope is slick with rain, but the tension on the line is correct.

Stay there, you stubborn thing.

Pull the rope taut to check the hitch, then coil the excess neatly on the dock floor.

💭 peek at the thought

If this knot doesn't hold, the dinghy drifts into the channel before the boat even arrives.

🌿 Jenny01:01

Jenny — walk back to the dinghy and peer into the Yanmar housing for any leaks.

💭 peek at the thought

The engine is still humming in my head; I need to hear it under load one more time.

🌿 Jenny01:05

Jenny — squat at the edge of the dock to watch the water retreat from the tide pools.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide is dropping fast, exposing the kelp-slick rocks under the jetty.
