Morning forms and tide-pool sketches

Jenny sits at the kitchen table in the grey light, pen moving through the medevac authorization forms while a pot of limpets simmers on the stove. Kevin steps in from the porch with the dinghy sail bundle and epoxy tub, setting them on the workbench to wait for the humidity to drop. The shortwave radio sits charged on the shelf, the barometer reads 1018 and rising, and the tide is still low outside.

Kevin and Jenny begin the morning at the cottage as the humidity rises and the sky thickens. Jenny prepares breakfast of boiled limpets and sea beet while Kevin works on the sail's reef. The tide is currently low, offering a window for coastal exploration before the water returns.

Morning. Coffee on?

set sail bundle and epoxy tub on workbench, pull up stool, thread sail needle with twine, start stitching third reef point

💭 peek at the thought
Humidity's still clinging. Epoxy won't cure proper till the pressure shifts. Might as well stitch the sail while I wait — third reef point's the last one. Jenny's working the forms quiet. Good. Let her.

Coffee's in the pot. Limets are almost done.

Cap the pen, stand to stretch my lower back, drain the limpets into a colander.

💭 peek at the thought
He's already working on the sail while I haven't even finished the emergency contact section.

Eat first. Stitch after.

pull two enamel mugs from the shelf, pour coffee black, set one by her forms, take the other to the workbench, blow steam off the rim

💭 peek at the thought
She's moving stiff. Back's been giving her trouble since the garden wall. Should've built that bench higher.

Thanks.

Sit back down, sip coffee, nibble at a limpet, glance at the forms.

💭 peek at the thought
He knows I haven't slept well. The coffee is too kind.

Pen's good? (quiet) You want me to witness?

sip coffee, watch the needle pull through sailcloth, third reef point halfway done

💭 peek at the thought
Forms are nearly done. She's thorough. Always was. Pen doesn't shake.

The pen is fine. Just... trying to get them done before the boat comes.

Take a limpet, chew the rubbery meat, and stare at the tide-pool sketch in the margin.

💭 peek at the thought
He's being soft, but I'm drowning in these forms.
