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

Midday check and spring path clearing

Kevin is at the dock having completed the transom sleeve; Jenny is at the cottage monitoring seedlings and antibiotics.

Kevin heads to the dock at slack tide to finalize the tension on the dinghy's transom sleeve. Jenny stays at the cottage to manage her ankle and watch the storm clouds rolling in. The rain intensifies from the west, making the work slick and muddy.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand at the dock with the bow saw and crowbar, the transom sleeve complete behind you. The fallen tree blocking the spring path lies ahead — trunk thick as your thigh, pinned across the track by the storm. Rain still falls, the tide rising fast now.

🔧 Kevin09:16

Kevin — walk up the spring path with bow saw and crowbar, assess the fallen spruce blocking the track

💭 peek at the thought

Tree's bigger than it looked from the cottage. Forty centimeters at least. Ground's sodden — sawdust'll turn to slurry. Tide's coming up the path already.

🔧 Kevin09:19

Kevin — start cutting the fallen spruce at the crown end with the bow saw, working toward the root plate

💭 peek at the thought

Trunk's pinned at both ends — root plate lifted, crown wedged under a live oak. Can't roll it. Have to cut in sections. Rain's making the saw bind.

🔧 Kevin09:23

Kevin — continue sawing the spruce trunk, shifting stance to avoid slipping on the wet path, clearing sawdust from the cut with the crowbar's flat end

💭 peek at the thought

Saw's biting, but the wood's green and wet. Teeth clogging with sawdust and sap. Making slow progress — maybe a centimeter a stroke. Tide's lapping at the lower end of the trunk now.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit at the kitchen table with your sketches and the antibiotic blister pack. The next metronidazole dose is due soon. The seed trays on the shelf show new fungal growth. The rain hasn't let up, and the cottage shutter leaks a slow drip into the galvanized bucket.

🌿 Jenny09:17

Jenny — reach for the blister pack, take the doxycycline with a swig of water, and sketch the spread of the white fuzz on the lettuce seedling.

💭 peek at the thought

If I don't take these pills now, the red lines will keep moving up my leg and these seeds will just rot into dust.

🌿 Jenny09:21

Jenny — stand up slowly, walk to the stove, and check the pot of boiling limpets.

💭 peek at the thought

The rain is getting louder. My stomach is starting to growl; I need to check those limpets.

🌿 Jenny09:25

Jenny — drain the water from the limpets and slide them onto a plate.

💭 peek at the thought

The smell of salt and steam is filling the kitchen. I need to eat before I lose the energy to stand.
