Night watch and impeller change

Kevin works on the Yanmar in the pre-dawn dark, lantern light on the engine block, while Jenny rests on the porch with her ankle elevated. The generator runs steady. The supply boat is due tomorrow at high tide. The barometer holds at 1014.

Kevin and Jenny discussed the Yanmar's float needle and generator repair at the cottage while the barometer fell to 1012 hPa. A tangle of driftwood washed up on the south beach. Both rolled poorly on their intended tasks.

Is the engine float seated properly?

Lean back against the stone wall, watching the rhythm of the lantern light on Kevin's hands.

💭 peek at the thought
If the boat doesn't come tomorrow with the antibiotics, I'm going to lose the leg before I finish the survey.

Seated. Filed the needle seat clean yesterday — holds at idle and load. No weep.

wipe hands on rag, set 19mm wrench down beside the Yanmar, glance at the generator exhaust to confirm steady rhythm

💭 peek at the thought
She's watching the work, not the horizon. That's different.

The generator's singing again.

Check the barometer reading on the shelf, noting it's climbed to 1016 hPa.

💭 peek at the thought
Good. Now I can sleep—if I choose to.

Carb diaphragm from the crate. Runs clean now.

reach up to the radio shelf, tap the barometer glass with a fingertip, read the needle

💭 peek at the thought
She hears it too. Good sign — means she's tracking the machine sounds like I do.
