Day 248, Dawn
The light onshore breeze carries the scent of salt as you gather the materials at the dock to begin the structural repairs before the supply boat arrives.
No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.
The wood is too soft, I'm using the heavy bolts and the new plate.
pull the crowbar from my belt and pry at the first rotten plank.

Take the aft one first. I'll cut the sisters to length while you clear the rot.
Walk to the workshop, retrieve the circular saw and measuring tape, then return to the dock to measure and mark the replacement timber lengths for the sistered stringers.

way make sure they're long enough to overlap the solid section.
wedge the waybar into the gap of the aft plank and pull with my full weight.

I'll mark the cut line where the solid wood starts, then add thirty inches for overlap. That should bite into the sound stringer.
Use the tape measure to find the edge of sound timber beneath the rot, then mark the sister plank for cutting with the pencil, ensuring at least thirty inches of overlap beyond the rotten section.

Just don't cut them too short, we need that surface area for the bolts.
shove the crowbar deeper under the timber and heave until the wood gives way with a crack.

They won't be short. I'm measuring off the sound wood, not the rot.
Set the circular saw depth to cut through the sister timber in one pass, then rip the first sister plank to the marked length.
