Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the north cliffs

Afternoon work at dock and cliffs

Kevin is at the dock preparing to test the Yanmar on the dinghy; Jenny is at the north cliffs sketching limpet morphology.

The heavy air hangs motionless over the dock as the tide begins its slow crawl up the rotting planks. Kevin monitors the Yanmar's idle, listening for any hint of hesitation, while Jenny stands on the northern cliffs, documenting the stubborn stillness of the tidepool life.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand beside the dinghy at the dock, the repaired starter cord in hand. The Yanmar's fuel line is connected, the float needle filed clean. You pull the cord — the engine catches on the third try, idling rough then smoothing out. You engage forward gear; the prop bites, pushing the dinghy against its lines. The stern line you spliced holds. Smoke clears. The engine runs steady under load.

Kevin — disengage gear, let engine idle while checking for leaks and vibration

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's alive. Third pull caught. Runs clean under load — prop bites, stern line holds. That's the Yanmar sorted. One less thing.

🔧 Kevin07:36

Kevin — watch the tell-tale stream, hand on the tiller, listening for any change in rhythm

💭 peek at the thought

Let it warm through. Watch the tell-tale. No water in the oil, no oil in the water. Hour on the clock before I shut her down and call it good.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You sit on a flat rock above the tide pools, notebook open, pencil moving. The limpets you boiled earlier sit in a bowl beside you — shells cracked open, the muscular foot and mantle exposed. You draw the radula, the gill structure, the shell growth rings. Wind lifts the page corners. A gull cries. The tide is rising, covering the pools you mapped yesterday.

way still, you damn thing.

sketch the internal anatomy of the limpet's mantle.

💭 peek at the thought

The salt is eating everything, even the wood of the dock, but these little creatures... they are stubborn.

🌿 Jenny07:34

Jenny — close the notebook and stand up, walking back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to growl again. I should check the remaining tins of mackerel.
