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

Morning work apart

Kevin is at the dock testing the Yanmar under load; Jenny is at the north cliffs sketching sea beet morphology.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You are alone at the dock, the dinghy bobbing at its moorings. You pull the starter cord and let the engine idle, then advance to half throttle to check for vibration.

🔧 Kevin21:25

Kevin — pull starter cord, let Yanmar idle, advance throttle to half, watch prop shaft and feel for vibration through transom and tiller

💭 peek at the thought

Engine idles clean. Half throttle now — watching the prop shaft, feeling through the transom. That faint vibration above half throttle... could be the mast bracket alignment or the prop shaft true. Need to know before the supply boat comes.

🔧 Kevin21:28

Kevin — shut down Yanmar, wipe hands on rag, check mast bracket alignment and bracket bolts, inspect shaft coupling for play or wear

💭 peek at the thought

Vibration's still there above half throttle — faint but definite, comes through the tiller hand. Prop shaft spins true at idle. Mast bracket's slightly out of alignment from the reinforcement work. That's the suspect. Need to check the bracket bolts and the shaft coupling while the engine's warm.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You are on the north cliffs, notebook open on your knee. The wind carries salt spray as you examine a fresh sea beet leaf, noting the shape of its salt glands.

🌿 Jenny21:26

Jenny — sketch the sea beet morphology in the notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide is going out fast, exposing those lower rocks. I need to capture the curvature of these salt pores before the light fails completely.

🌿 Jenny21:30

Jenny — close the notebook and walk back toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

My stomach is starting to knot. I've been out here too long, and that barometer is still sliding. I need to get back before the rain turns these ledges into ice.
