Pre-Supply Boat Prep

Kevin and Jenny stand under the overhang as the steady rain fills the water tank to its absolute brim. Jenny inspects the loose corner of the garden tarp while Kevin checks the level of the drying seedling trays.

Kevin struggles to repair the shortwave radio in the driving rain, failing to secure the cracked insulator and frayed coax. Jenny checks the water tank for sediment and sketches the sea beet salt glands while sheltered under the garden tarp.

The wind is going to catch that flap if we don't weight it down with more than just stones.

Reach out to pull the wet tarp taut against the stone wall, squinting against the spray.

💭 peek at the thought
The tank is full, but the garden is still a mess of salt and weeds.

Got some scrap timber by the shed. Could batten it down proper.

walk toward the garden shed to retrieve scrap timber for battening the tarp

💭 peek at the thought
She's right about the wind. That corner's been lifting for two days now. Stones won't hold once the gusts hit thirty.

Bring the heavy pieces, the light ones will just blow away.

Squat down to clear the edge of the tarp from the mud, waiting for the wood.

💭 peek at the thought
If he fixes the tarp, maybe the soil will actually dry for once.

The old dock planks. Be right back.

walk to the garden shed and retrieve the three salvaged dock planks

💭 peek at the thought
Heavy pieces. Right. The old dock planks we salvaged — three sound cores. They've got weight and they won't rot any further.

Watch your step, the grass is slick with that moss and rain.

Stand up and wipe the mud from my palms, watching him approach.

💭 peek at the thought
Planks are heavy, but they'll hold better than the stakes.

🔧 Kevin19:54

Underfoot's treacherous. I'll move slow.

carry the three salvaged dock planks to the garden, stepping carefully on the slick grass, and lay them along the loose tarp edge to weight it down securely against the stone wall

💭 peek at the thought
She's watching me. I don't need to prove I can walk. Just get the wood and get it done.
