Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the keeper's cottage

Tide Receding Further

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny is at the cottage.

Kevin attempts to secure the dinghy's engine mount against the rising tide but the midday heat makes the work grueling. Jenny tries to tend to the garden seedlings but finds the thickening cloud cover signaling a change in weather.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

The water is further out, exposing the rocky shelves near the north ridge. You consider grabbing the bucket for limpets.

Kevin — walk up to the cottage, grab the galvanized bucket, then head for the north ridge tide pools

💭 peek at the thought

Tide's down far enough. Rocky shelves at the north ridge exposed — good hour, maybe two before it turns. Bucket's by the cottage door. Limpets are protein that doesn't need diesel to catch.

🔧 Kevin00:16

Kevin — walk back from the north ridge toward the cottage with the bucket of limpets

💭 peek at the thought

Bucket's half full. Good haul — big ones on the lower shelf where the water holds longer. Knees are wet, fingers cold. Worth it. Need to get them boiling before the tide comes back up the ridge.

🔧 Kevin00:20

Kevin — stir the pot of limpets, check the fire, wipe wet hands on trousers

💭 peek at the thought

Pot's on the stove, water heating. Limpets tipped in, steam rising. Ten minutes and they'll be done. Broth'll be good for rice later. Jenny's somewhere in the cottage — haven't seen her since this morning. Radio check at 0200 still hours off. Barometer's still falling.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

The tank is nearly full, splashing against the sides. You check the barometer as the pressure drops.

Come on, not today.

Move the heirloom seed tin closer to the heat of the wood stove.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is falling too fast. If this storm hits before the boat comes, the seeds will rot in the tin.

Jenny — pick up the de-salted sea beet leaves from the table.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing again and the humidity is making it worse. I need to check the sea beet before the wind shifts.

🌿 Jenny00:19

Stay focused, Jenny.

Grab the notebook and pencil from the kitchen table.

💭 peek at the thought

The sky is getting darker. If I don't get those transects done now, I'll lose the light on the ridge.
