Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Approaching Squall

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny is in the garden.

Kevin reinforced the dinghy's stern line with new rope and a proper eye splice, then checked the barometer. Jenny secured the shade cloth over the tomato rows and inspected the seedling trays before heading toward the dock.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

The water is rising faster than expected, and the dinghy sways against its moorings.

🔧 Kevin04:42

Kevin — walk back along the jetty to the dock mooring ring, inspect the mortise and chafe gear, reinforce if needed.

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's pushing hard. Need to check the mooring ring on the dock — it's been shifting under load. If the dinghy breaks loose, we lose the engine test and the only way off this rock.

🔧 Kevin04:46

Kevin — retrieve the new half-inch three-strand from the porch, cut a fresh stern line with a proper eye splice and leather chafe guard, re-secure the dinghy to the ring with a round turn and two half-hitches backed by a figure-eight stopper.

💭 peek at the thought

The ring's mortise has widened — salt and swell working the timber. Chafe guard's frayed where the stern line runs. One good surge and it saws through.

🔧 Kevin04:50

Kevin — walk back to the cottage, wipe hands on trousers, check the barometer on the porch.

💭 peek at the thought

Line's holding. Eye splice seated clean, chafe guard covering the bite on the ring. Dinghy rides the swell now instead of fighting it. Engine test can wait for the tide to turn — no point running her with the prop half in air.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You check if the tomato rows are well-protected before the wind picks up.

🌿 Jenny04:41

Jenny — tighten the shade cloth over the tomato rows and weight the edges with flat stones.

💭 peek at the thought

The salt is going to scour these leaves off if I don't secure the cloth now.

🌿 Jenny04:45

Jenny — wipe the salt spray from the leaves of the seedling sprouts and check the moisture level in the soil.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is holding, but the soil in the trays is already looking parched again.

🌿 Jenny04:49

Jenny — stand up, brush the dirt from my knees, and walk toward the dock.

💭 peek at the thought

I need to move the dinghy before the tide turns, but my stomach is growling.
