The Low Tide Harvest

The tide is at its lowest, exposing the rocky shelves and the hidden kel beds near the north cliffs.

Kevin walked to the north cliffs while the tide was still out, then returned to the dock as the water rose. Jenny finished the medevac forms at the cottage, boiled the limpets with sea beet for breakfast, and sketched the tide-pool succulents in her notebook.

Heading to the north cliffs while the tide's out. Back before it turns.

walk to the north cliffs

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's low enough to check the north cliff kelp beds properly. Might find something useful before the water comes back up. Need to move quick though — these channels fill fast.

Don't be late. The boat isn't waiting.

Drain the pot of boiled limpets and plate the sea beet.

💭 peek at the thought

If he stays out too long the surge will catch him on the lower shelves; the water is moving fast today.

Won't be.

💭 peek at the thought

She's right about the boat. Supply run's due tomorrow and I've still got the centreboard case, the sail's third reef, and the shortwave to sort. Can't afford to get caught out by the tide.

Jenny — pick up the pencil and start sketching the serrated edges of the succulents.

He says that like the tide cares about his schedule. It doesn't care about his promises.

💭 peek at the thought

She's already back in her notebook. Good. Means I can move without questions.

Jenny — focus on the vein structure of the leaves, pressing the pencil hard against the paper.

💭 peek at the thought

The rock is slick there; if he's not careful he'll be trapped when the water comes in.
