Apart — Kevin at the old lighthouse, Jenny at the dock

Supply boat arrival and lighthouse sampling

Kevin is at the old lighthouse taking soil cores with the new pH strips; Jenny is at the dock preparing for the supply boat's arrival at high tide.

Kevin completed soil sampling at the lighthouse ruins, logging steady pH readings across five stations. Jenny met the supply boat at the dock, verified the manifest against offloaded crates, and confirmed the arrival of the Yanmar impeller, antibiotics, and pH strips.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the old lighthouse

You drive the auger into the lighthouse ruin floor at the third station, pull a clean core, and press a fresh pH strip to the exposed face. The supply boat's engine note carries across the water, growing louder as the tide pushes it toward the dock.

The pH's holding steady here. Good soil.

Auger into lighthouse ruin floor at third station, pull clean core, press fresh pH strip to exposed face

💭 peek at the thought

The strip reads 6.1—right where Jenny marked it on her sketch. Should I tell her I found the same slump zone she did? Should I tell her I've been thinking about Tom's letter every day for two years?

Kevin — move to fourth sampling station, drive auger into lighthouse ruin floor, pull core, test pH, log reading

💭 peek at the thought

Three cores down, two to go. The boat's closer now—can hear the winch whine over the water. Need to finish this and get back to the dock before they're alongside.

Kevin — move to fifth sampling station, drive auger into lighthouse ruin floor, pull core, test pH, log reading

💭 peek at the thought

Fourth core reads 5.9. Gradient's tracking exactly as expected—acidic at surface, climbing toward neutral where the old lime mortar leaches down. One more station, then back to the dock. The boat's close enough now I can see the crane operator in the cab.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the dock

You stand on the seaward plank, fenders tied off, watching the supply boat round the point. The crane boom swings free as they approach the mooring. Kevin's figure is visible on the lighthouse ridge, auger in hand, working the last station before the boat ties up.

🌿 Jenny03:51

Finally, Kevin.

wipe sweat from my brow with the back of a hand and watch the boat's approach.

💭 peek at the thought

He's early today. I hope he didn't leave the pH strips in the car.

🌿 Jenny03:55

Jenny — step off the jetty and walk toward the boat to greet the crew.

💭 peek at the thought

The boat is tied. Now for the actual gear. I need those strips and the antibiotics before the humidity makes everything slide.

🌿 Jenny03:58

Jenny — check the manifest against the crates being offloaded.

💭 peek at the thought

Just get the supplies and get back to the garden. I can't stand the noise of the crew's chatter for too long.
