The Storm Breaks
The warm rain has turned to a steady downpour as the wind howls through the ridge. You are together inside, watching the barometer needle continue its rapid descent.
The sky thickens to a bruised purple as the pressure continues its slow slide. The tide has retreated to its furthest point, exposing the slick, dark rocks of the northern shelf. Inside the cottage, the air is heavy with the smell of salt and drying mint, while the rhythmic drip from the shutter leak marks the passing minutes.
Radio check at midnight. If the aerial holds.
Walk to the porch and check the garden tarp's loose corner, testing the new rope lashing tension by hand.

Walk to the kitchen and grab the heavy-duty twine to help him secure the waymets.

Hand me the twine. I'll take the windward side.
Move to the loose corner of the garden tarp, brace against the gust, and start re-lashing it with the heavy-duty twine, pulling tight to take the slack out of the corner.

Easy. The material is saturated, if you tension it that much now it'll just snap.
Hand him the spool of heavy-duty twine and hold the other edge of the tarp steady to distribute the weight.
