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

Midday Heat and Humidity

Kevin is at the dock checking the moorings, while Jenny heads toward the north cliffs to scout resources.

No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You inspect the salt-crusted bolts, ensuring the rising tide hasn't stressed the new structural repairs.

🔧 Kevin08:09

Kevin — walk along the dock to the transom, inspecting the bronze sleeve installation and the three 150mm stainless through-bolts at the sister knee, then move to the north piling to verify the tapered greenheart shim is still seated solid under th

💭 peek at the thought
Tide's coming up fast. Need to check the transom bolts and the greenheart shim under the north piling before the water gets too deep to see what's happening.

🔧 Kevin08:13

Kevin — walk back up the dock toward the cottage, wiping salt off my hands on my trousers

💭 peek at the thought
Transom bolts holding. Greenheart shim seated. Water's up to the lower sister knee bolt now — good, lets me see if there's any weep. Nothing. Dock's solid for this tide. Should head up to the cottage, see how Jenny's ankle is, get something in me before the rain settles in proper.

🔧 Kevin08:17

Kevin — step onto the cottage porch, shake water off my boots, and push through the door into the kitchen

💭 peek at the thought
Rain's starting proper now. Smell of wet stone and kelp. Cottage porch will be dry. Kettle should still be warm from this morning. Need to check Jenny's ankle — she won't say if it's worse.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You navigate the rocky path, looking for any sign of the supply boat on the distant horizon.

🌿 Jenny08:11

Jenny — squint at the horizon, then lean against a salt-sprayed rock to shift the weight off my leg.

💭 peek at the thought
Five days. It should be a speck on the horizon by now if they left early, but there's nothing but grey. My ankle is pulsing in time with the surf.

🌿 Jenny08:15

Jenny — sit carefully on a ledge and open the notebook to the sea beet pages.

💭 peek at the thought
The rain is turning the guano slicker by the second. I need to get these sketches done before the paper curls or the light fails completely.

🌿 Jenny08:19

Focus, Jenny. Just the vein structure.

💭 peek at the thought
I'm shaking. Is it the cold or the fever? I can't tell if the line on the page is straight or if my hand is drifting.
