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

Midday on Day 399

Kevin is at the dock inspecting the gear, while Jenny is at the north cliffs observing the coast.

Kevin spends the midday checking the dock's structural integrity and inspecting the dinghy's lines. Jenny focuses on the north cliffs, documenting the sea beet morphology in her notebook while the pressure begins to rise.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand under the eaves of the shed, checking the tension on the dinghy's lines as the sea state remains at a three.

🔧 Kevin08:55

Kevin — check tension on all four dinghy lines — forward spring, aft spring, bow, stern

💭 peek at the thought

Lines are holding. Mast bracket's still slightly off but the through-bolts haven't walked. Good enough for now.

🔧 Kevin08:58

Kevin — walk to the dock edge and crouch to inspect the void under the sister plank at low tide

💭 peek at the thought

Rain's easing. Tide's dropped enough to see the scour under the greenheart plank. Need to wedge it proper before the next high.

🔧 Kevin09:03

Kevin — fetch greenheart offcuts, mallet, and epoxy tub from the shed

💭 peek at the thought

Void's deeper than I thought — near thirty centimetres under the plank toe. The spruce braces are holding alignment but they're soft wood in salt water. Won't last the week. Need greenheart shims driven hard at low water, then epoxy the gaps when the tide turns.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You lean heavily against the stone wall of the path, watching the grey clouds while your ankle swells against the wrap.

🌿 Jenny08:57

Just one more day, Jenny.

Reach into my pocket to touch the cold metal of my grandmother's seed tin.

💭 peek at the thought

The infection is moving upward. If this doesn't break by own, the seeds will rot in the tin.

🌿 Jenny09:01

Jenny — open the notebook and force a pencil to sketch the jagged Edge of a sea beet leaf.

💭 peek at the thought

The way is rising, but the air feels like lead. I can't focus on the lines.

🌿 Jenny09:05

Focus. Just focus.

Press the pencil lead harder against the paper, tracing the veins of the leaf.

💭 peek at the thought

My hand is shaking. If I can't draw the morphology right, what am I?
