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

Dinghy sea trial and seed work

Kevin is at the dock having just completed the dinghy engine test; Jenny is at the cottage drying mint and sorting heirloom seeds.

Kevin checked the rat trap in the pantry but found it empty before heading to the spring to clear debris. Jenny spent the morning sketching a cross-section of a sea beet while noting the thickening clouds through the window.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand on the dock, the dinghy tied fast beside you, the Yanmar still ticking hot. The tide is low, exposing the barnacled pilings. You run a hand along the new stern line splice — solid. The engine test went clean: idle steady, forward and reverse crisp, no overheating. You have a few hours before slack tide ends. The supply boat comes tomorrow.

Kevin — walk up the path from the dock toward the cottage, check the rat trap in the pantry, then head toward the spring line

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's good. Line's good. Now I need to check the rat trap and walk the spring line before the tide turns. Jenny's at the cottage with the seeds — she'll want to know the dinghy's ready.

Kevin — reset the rat trap with boiled limpet meat, then walk the spring line toward the spring, clearing debris

💭 peek at the thought

Pantry's quiet. Trap sprung — rat's gone, bait taken. No carcass. Thing's trap-shy now. Need to reset with something different, maybe the limpets. Spring line next. Tide's still low enough to see the path.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit at the kitchen table, mint sprigs spreading fragrance in the stove's warmth. Heirloom tomato seeds lie on paper, viable ones separated from the moldy edges. Your notebook is open to the sea beet morphology page, salt gland illustrations complete. The tweezers are broken, so you work with pencil and fingertip. The barometer holds at 1006. The rat trap is silent.

🌿 Jenny22:05

Stay dry, you.

Pick up the pencil and sketch the cross-section of a sea beet salt gland.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is lying, or the air is heavy. If the boat doesn't come tomorrow, the seeds will rot here anyway.

Jenny — rub the palm of my hand and look out the window at the thickening sky.

💭 peek at the thought

My hand is cramping. I'm focusing too hard on these lines to avoid thinking about the clouds.
