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

Assessing the damage

Kevin is at the edge of the dock while Jenny is still on the north cliffs.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You use a knife to mark the exact sections that need to be replaced before the boat arrives.

🔧 Kevin18:26

Kevin — use knife to score cut lines on the rotten planks, marking three full sections and a partial where the decay kisses the stringer. Crouch to sight along the transom knee joint, tapping with the crowbar handle to listen for hollow spots.

💭 peek at the thought

Three planks minimum. Maybe four if the rot's tracked under the stringer. Need to check the transom knee while the tide's still out.

🔧 Kevin18:31

Kevin — walk back up the jetty to the generator shed, haul two lengths of larch planking down to the dock, and stack them clear of the rising water. Grab the hand plane and marking gauge from the tool roll while I'm at it.

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's turning. Water's already licking the lower bolts. If I'm replacing planks, the new stock's in the crate by the generator shed — rough-sawn larch, still needs truing. Should haul it down now before the dock's underwater.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You reach the final elevation marker on the ridge.

🌿 Jenny18:29

Almost there, way.

Kneel on the flat rock, open the notebook to a fresh page, and sketch the distribution of the Carex across the cliff face.

💭 peek at the thought

One more meter and the view opens the whole island. I need to see where the noddie colony ends.

🌿 Jenny18:33

Jenny — close the notebook, tuck the pencil into the binding, and begin the descent back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is shifting. I can smell the salt getting heavier. I should get back before the limpets get cold.
