Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Midday Heat

Kevin is at the dock inspecting the dinghy, while Jenny is at the cottage tending the seedlings.

The heavy humidity hangs over the dock as the tide begins to rise against the pilings. Kevin checks the Yanmar engine housing one last time before the heat sets in, while Jenny tends to the garden to manage the fungal spread on the pepper and lettuce seedlings.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

He kneels in the bilge, looking for any new leaks or debris.

Kevin — tighten Yanmar housing bolt with torque wrench to 35Nm

💭 peek at the thought

The bilge’s dry — no new water, just the old salt crust and a loose bolt rattling where the housing meets the stringer. I should torque it down before it works itself loose completely.

🔧 Kevin13:44

Kevin — inspect raw-water impeller for wear or damage

💭 peek at the thought

Bolt’s seated now. The bilge is clean — just old grime and that one washer I dropped last week. Nothing’s shifted since the last run. Engine’s tight, but the heat’s making everything groan. I should check the raw-water impeller before the day slips away; salt’s been eating the vanes.

Kevin — walk to the garden to check tomato seedling stems at soil line for damping-off spread

💭 peek at the thought

Impeller’s stiff but intact — no cracks, just the usual salt crust on the vanes. It’ll hold for another fifty hours. I wiped it down and spun the shaft by hand; it turns smooth. No need to change it yet. Time’s moving — I’ve got that letter to Tom still sitting unfinished in my pocket, and the seedlings won’t wait.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

She inspects the damping-off fuzz on the lettuce cells.

🌿 Jenny13:38

Jenny — stand up, gather the heavily infected seedlings into a pile, and walk to the wood stove.

💭 peek at the thought

The white fuzz is spreading again. If I don't burn these now, the whole batch will be gone before the boat arrives.

🌿 Jenny13:42

Jenny — sweep the charred remains of the seedlings into the dustpan and wipe the ash from the stove.

💭 peek at the thought

The smoke is clearing, but the kitchen still smells like rot. I need to look at the tomato stems again.

🌿 Jenny13:46

Jenny — walk to the pantry and pull a tin of corned beef from the shelf.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to growl. I should eat something before I head down to the dock to check that mooring ring.
