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

The calm before the storm

Kevin is at the dock, inspecting the fuel line, while Jenny is at the north cliffs, surveying the horizon.

The rain has shifted from a steady downpour to a heavy lashing coming in from the west. The air pressure is beginning to stabilize at 1000 hPa, suggesting the worst front is passing, but the tide is rising rapidly, threatening the lower sections of the dock and the tide pools.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You check the connections for the tenth time, looking for a leak you might have missed.

Kevin — bleed fuel system at injector and check for bubbles in return line

💭 peek at the thought

The Yanmar’s still coughing under load—could be air in the lines or a hairline crack in the injector seat I didn’t catch.

Kevin — shut down Yanmar, pull prop, check shaft runout against the bronze sleeve with a dial gauge

💭 peek at the thought

Bled the lines clean — no air. Engine idles sweet but still stumbles the moment I crack the throttle past half. That vibration at the shaft again. Mast bracket’s still slightly out of true; the alignment’s walking under load.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You stand on the high ground, watching the color of the clouds for signs of the supply boat.

🌿 Jenny14:54

Jenny — pulls the tin of seeds from my pocket and traces the rusted edge with my thumb.

💭 peek at the thought

If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, the salt spray will kill the seedlings before they even sprout.

🌿 Jenny14:58

Jenny — opens the notebook and makes a quick, gestural sketch of the cloud formation moving in from the west.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is starting to blur the horizon. I can't see the channel anymore.
