← Day 37

Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday squall preparation

Kevin is at the dock securing the dinghy and gathering sail repair gear; Jenny is at the garden checking shade cloth ties and bed drainage ahead of the approaching front.

Kevin works at the dock securing the dinghy engine to its mount and testing the pressure levels. Jenny tends to the garden, checking the heirloom rows under the midday sun. The tide begins to rise steadily against the lower dock planks.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You tie off the dinghy's painter with an extra turn around the cleat, then pull the sail bag from the locker. The starboard leech cloth is still damp from yesterday's humidity, but the wind is slack enough to stitch if you move now. You thread a palm needle with waxed twine and lay the sail flat on the dock planks.

🔧 Kevin09:20

Kevin — sit on the dock planks and begin stitching the starboard leech on the dinghy sail, working methodically along the damp cloth with the palm needle and waxed twine.

💭 peek at the thought
Good day for it. Wind's slack, needle's sharp, twine's waxed. Starboard leech won't stitch itself.

🔧 Kevin09:24

Kevin — continue stitching the starboard leech, hands moving steady, eyes on the work and the sky both.

💭 peek at the thought
Rhythm's found. Three stitches per inch, tension even. Damp cloth takes the needle clean. Another hour and the leech'll hold a gale.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You walk the tomato rows, cinching each shade-cloth tie where the wind has worked it loose. The lime-treated beds are draining well, but the untreated rows show standing water in the furrows — you scrape a few drainage channels with your boot heel. The barometer in your pocket reads 1015 and steady, but the swell direction has shifted.

🌿 Jenny09:19

Jenny — walk to the edge of the garden and look out toward the north ridge.

💭 peek at the thought
Steady barometer doesn't mean the air isn't heavy. The soil in the untreated rows is too compact; I should have limed the whole plot.

🌿 Jenny09:23

Jenny — walk back to the cottage to grab a snack and the field notebook.

💭 peek at the thought
I'm starving, but I can't leave the north ridge mapping for another day. If I wait, the cloud cover will just thicken.
