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

Midday work apart

Kevin is at the dock; Jenny is at the north cliffs

Kevin tightened the transom bolts and packed stone into the scoured void under the greenheart sister plank, stabilizing the dock repair. Jenny finished her ankle sketch, re-wrapped the wound, and began the slow descent from the north cliffs toward the cottage.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are standing on the dock beside the dinghy, wrench in hand, inspecting the transom bolts and the alignment of the greenheart sister plank. The rain has made the wood slick and the bolts hard to grip, but you can see signs of shifting since last check.

🔧 Kevin12:59

Kevin — kneel on the slick dock planking, run fingers along the greenheart sister plank where it meets the transom, feeling for movement at the bolt heads; check each of the three 150mm stainless through-bolts with the 19mm wrench, testing for play

💭 peek at the thought

The sister plank's shifted another millimeter since 0530. The scoured void underneath is eating the load path — greenheart's floating on nothing but driftwood braces and hope. If the next spring tide hits before I get stone under it, the transom bolts take the shear.

🔧 Kevin13:03

Kevin — tighten each transom bolt a quarter-turn with the 19mm wrench, feeling for bite; then haul the come-along taut against the sister plank to hold it dead flat while I shove flat stones into the scoured void beneath, packing them tight with th

💭 peek at the thought

All three bolts backed off a hair — not much, but enough. The void's letting the sister plank work like a lever. Need to snug them and get stone packed under that greenheart before the tide turns proper.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You are sitting on a sheltered ledge of the north cliffs, notebook open and antibiotic tablet in hand, the rain coming in sheets from the west. You take your dose with water from your canteen, then begin to sketch the reddened edges of your ankle infection, noting how it has spread since morning.

Jenny — make sketch: Ankle Infection Progress - Day 454. Write in notebook: "Redness extending 3cm past previous mark. Edges diffuse, heat localized to medial malleolus."

💭 peek at the thought

The inflammation is blurring the margins. If the red line reaches the knee, I'm in real trouble.

🌿 Jenny13:01

Stay put, Jenny. Just one more minute.

check barometer, wrap ankle tightly with gauze, start slow descent toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The barometer is dropping again. 982 hPa... the storm is going to break before I get back down.
