Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the woods

Midday at the dock and woods

Kevin is at the dock reeveing the stern line; Jenny is in the woods gathering greens and checking the rat trap.

The midday sun beats down on the dock as the trade wind provides a steady 28°C breeze. The barometer is holding at a heavy 1011 hPa, suggesting the dry season weather will persist for now. The supply boat is still ten days away, keeping the pressure on water and food high.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand on the dock with the stern line in hand, the rising tide slapping the pilings. The fairlead is clear, the new rope runs smooth, and you take a final turn on the cleat, cinching it tight.

check line tension, ensure no slack before tide rises.

💭 peek at the thought

The line is snug, the fairlead clean, everything ready for the next tide.

walk to the dinghy, pull the injector on the Yanmar, spin the flywheel by hand to clear any hydrolock.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide's coming in steady. Time to get the Yanmar free before the window closes.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the woods

You crouch in the damp undergrowth, basket half-full of purslane and wild mustard. The rat trap snaps shut behind you as you reset it, the corned beef fat glistening on the trigger.

🌿 Jenny10:07

Jenny — stand up and walk deeper into the scrub, scanning the forest floor for more wild mustard.

💭 peek at the thought

The air is too still. I need to get these greens back before the humidity wilts them, but I want to see if there's any more of that mustard further in.

🌿 Jenny10:10

Jenny — turn back toward the cottage and walk through the scrub, clutching the basket of greens.

💭 peek at the thought

Enough. If I keep pushing, I'll just be chasing a few more leaves while the seedlings at home need monitoring.

🌿 Jenny10:14

Jenny — walk out of the woods and head toward the cottage, glancing at the garden beds on the way.

💭 peek at the thought

I can smell the salt and the diesel from here. I wonder if Kevin's still staring at the dock or if he's actually made progress on the engine.
