Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Gusty Midday

Kevin is at the dock checking the lines, while Jenny is at the cottage tending the seeds.

Kevin returned to the cottage from the dock, checking the integrity of the repaired planks. Jenny spent the afternoon spreading the remaining heirloom seeds near the stove to ensure they dried in the humid air.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You check the tension on the new stern line as the wind catches the dinghy.

Kevin — walk back along the jetty toward the cottage, checking the two replaced planks underfoot

💭 peek at the thought

Stern line's holding. Rolling hitch still clean on the cleat. Good knot. The wind's picking up — southeast, steady, pushing the dinghy off the dock. She's riding it fine. Engine's in, mast stepped, sail bent on with three reef points. Float needle held at idle and load. Oarlock bracket solid with the backing plate. Bilge pump works. She's as ready as she'll ever be.

🔧 Kevin15:20

Kevin — climb the steps from the dock to the cottage, pull the shortwave set on, spin the dial to the supply boat frequency

💭 peek at the thought

Wind's shifted a touch more southerly. Cloud bank's thickening on the horizon — not the usual trade cumulus. Lower. Flatter. Barometer was 1009 and rising this morning. If it turns, it'll turn fast. Need to check it again. And the radio. Supply boat's three days out. If a front's coming through, they'll delay. We've got 376 litres water, 113 days food, wood for months. Garden's producing. Seeds are drying. Dinghy's ready. We're ready. Whatever comes.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You check the drying rate of the heirloom seeds in the shade of the kitchen.

🌿 Jenny15:13

Jenny — spread the seeds out on a fresh paper towel to ensure airflow.

💭 peek at the thought

If the humidity stays this high, these will rot before the way arrives. I can't lose Grandmother's tin.

🌿 Jenny15:19

Jenny — move the drying seeds closer to the stove for intermittent warmth, checking every hour. </think>THOUGHT: The seeds are drying too slowly in this damp air.

💭 peek at the thought

The seeds are drying too slowly in this damp air. The wood stove's heat is too direct - I need gentle warmth, not constant heat.
