Morning of Day 184

Kevin and Jenny meet in the kitchen as the sun rises over the island, discussing the day's tasks ahead.

Kevin attempted to run the Yanmar engine under load in the dinghy, but the engine stalled after a few seconds. Jenny walked into the woods to collect wild mustard and purslane, gathering a few specimens but missing the bulk of the intended haul.

Kettle's on. Water tank's at three-forty-nine. Barometer holding steady at ten-oh-eight.

The pressure is holding, but the air feels heavy. I'll need to get to the northern shelf before the light fails or the clouds break.

Pick up a mug, wrapping both hands around the warmth, and glance at the sea beet sketches in the notebook.

Grab my own and a pencil, then walk out onto the porch toward the northern path.
