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

Midday Heat and Prep

Kevin is at the dock with the dinghy while Jenny is back at the cottage.

Kevin walks the dock planks, testing each replaced board underfoot, then checks the ring bolt mortise for movement. He unties the dinghy, pushes off, and waters out to the mooring buoy to run the engine. Jenny stays at the cottage, preparing to boil the remaining limpets and sketching beets while checking the seed tin for moisture in the heavy air.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

The rising tide laps against the newly replaced dock pilings. You check the tension on the mooring lines for the dinghy.

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's coming up clean. Mooring lines holding — new stern line splice took the strain without creaking. Dinghy sits level. Good. One less thing to watch when the supply boat pushes in.

Kevin — untie the dinghy, push off, and motor out to the mooring buoy to run the Yanmar at cruising RPM for twenty minutes

💭 peek at the thought

Dock's solid. Ring bolt doesn't shift when I lean on it. Two rotten planks replaced, the rest sound enough for another season. Now the engine test — need to run her under proper load, not just idle at the dock.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You look over the remaining rations and decide what to cook. The heat in the kitchen is rising with the humidity.

🌿 Jenny06:27

Jenny — wash the limpets and put them in a pot of salted water on the stove to boil.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm so hungry my hands are shaking, and if I don't eat something now I won't have the energy to walk the north ridge later.

🌿 Jenny06:31

Jenny — drain the water and scrape the meat from the shells, eating them warm from the pot.

💭 peek at the thought

The limpets are done, rubbery and salty, but it's better than an empty stomach.
