Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Preparation for the Supply Boat

Kevin is clearing the dock area while Jenny tends to the garden rows.

Kevin tried to brace the south piling but the auger hole failed to secure the greenheart stock, leaving the brace unfinished. Jenny began sketching a sea beet leaf but the drawing was rough and incomplete.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

Kevin checks the tension on the new mooring rings for the boat.

Kevin — walk to the end of the dock, inspect the two rotten planks marked for replacement, test the greenheart brace stock against the south piling for length.

💭 peek at the thought

Four 150mm stainless through-bolts with doubler plate. Nyloc nuts torqued. Ring doesn't shift when I lean on it. Supply boat's crane can load whatever it brings.

🔧 Kevin20:27

Kevin — fetch the ship's auger and brace from the workshop, carry them to the dock, kneel on the planking and start the 25mm hole through the greenheart brace stock.

💭 peek at the thought

Greenheart's dense enough to blunt the auger if I'm not careful. Need to drill the pilot hole at low tide — water's still dropping. Brace angle at 45 degrees off the piling face, seat it on the sound timber below the rot line.

Kevin — hold the brace stock against the south piling at 45 degrees, scribe the cut line on the piling where the top of the brace will sit, then auger the pilot hole into the piling following that line.

💭 peek at the thought

Pilot hole's through the brace stock. Now I need to transfer the angle to the piling — low tide's coming, the rot band's visible about a hand's breadth above the current waterline.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

Jenny ensures the shade cloth is secure against the midday heat.

🌿 Jenny20:25

Jenny — wipes sweat from her brow with the back of a hand and adjusts the tension on the shade cloth.

💭 peek at the thought

The heat is going to cook these seedlings if I don't get this cover up properly.

🌿 Jenny20:29

Jenny — sits back on her heels, staring at the patch of weeds encroaching the stone wall.

💭 peek at the thought

The air is shimmering so hard it feels like the island is breathing.

🌿 Jenny20:33

Jenny — picks up her pencil and begins sketching the jagged edge of a sea beet leaf.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm hungry enough to eat the dirt, but the limpets are still waiting.
