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

Rising Tide Pressure

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny begins her descent from the northern cliffs.

Kevin finished the Yanmar housing repair by cutting and installing a new bronze bolt, torquing it to spec. Jenny retreated from the rising tide at the north cliffs, securing her notebook and observations before the lower shelves flooded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

The spray is hitting the dock now, and you need to ensure the missing bolt hasn't washed overboard.

🔧 Kevin20:18

Kevin — drop to my knees and shine the headlamp into the bilge, feeling around the stringers and limber holes for the missing housing bolt.

💭 peek at the thought

Need to check the bilge for that missing bolt before the tide takes it. The spray's getting worse.

🔧 Kevin20:22

Kevin — straighten up, wipe my hands on my trousers, and walk back to the cottage workshop to cut a new bolt from the bronze bar stock on the lathe.

💭 peek at the thought

Nothing in the bilge but salt and slime. Bolt's gone — probably vibrated out weeks ago and washed overboard. Have to make another from the shaft stock.

🔧 Kevin20:26

Kevin — walk back to the dock with the fresh bolt, torque wrench, and anti-seize. Thread the new bolt into the Yanmar housing, torque to 35Nm, then wipe down the engine mount and call the Yanmar housing repair finished.

💭 peek at the thought

Good. New bolt turned and threaded. Fits the chased holes clean. Now torque it to spec and the housing's done.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

The tide is rising quickly against the base of the cliffs, making the path slippery.

🌿 Jenny20:21

Not today, not today.

Claps the notebook shut, stuffs it into her bag, and starts scrambling toward the upper path.

💭 peek at the thought

The water is coming in faster than the charts predicted. I need to get down before the shelf is cut.

🌿 Jenny20:25

Jenny — wipes sweat from her brow with a grit and stops to look back at the sea.

💭 peek at the thought

My legs are burning and the salt is sticking to my skin. I'm starving.

🌿 Jenny20:29

Jenny — leans against a rock rock, catching her breath while watching the horizon.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is picking up. I need to get back to the cottage before it gets dark.
