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

Midday Heat and Low Tide

Kevin is at the dock investigating the fuel lines, while Jenny remains at the cottage tending her sketches.

Kevin spent the morning inspecting the dinghy's fuel system and checking the dock's structural integrity. Jenny worked in the cottage de-salting the sea beet leaves and organizing the heirloom seed tins while the humidity rose.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You decide to pull the filter to see if the sediment is trapped there instead of the bowl.

🔧 Kevin07:11

Kevin — walk to the dinghy, shut off fuel valve, unscrew the inline filter with the tubing cutter, drain contents into a jar for inspection.

💭 peek at the thought
The fuel bowl’s clean, so the gunk must be in the filter. If it’s clogged, the engine starves under load—explains the vibration and sputter. I’ll pull it, check, clean if needed.

🔧 Kevin07:15

Kevin — set the jar on the dock planking to let it settle fully, wipe the filter housing clean, pull the feed line off the tank pickup and blow through it toward the tank — listening for bubbles, feeling for resistance.

💭 peek at the thought
Filter housing off. Paper element inside looks grey-brown, not black — water contamination, not just dirt. Fuel in the jar separates fast: clear diesel on top, cloudy layer below. That's the problem. Water's getting past the tank vent or the drum. Need to trace the line back.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the keeper's cottage

You sit by the window, keeping your leg elevated while watching the clouds for any rain.

🌿 Jenny07:13

Jenny — reach for the sketchbook and pencil to refine the cell structure on the sea beet drawing.

💭 peek at the thought
The sky is too heavy. If it opens up before the boat comes, I won't be able to get to the dock to help Kevin.

🌿 Jenny07:17

Jenny — stand up slowly and limp toward the kitchen to find the mint leaves.

💭 peek at the thought
My ankle is throbbing again. I need to check the poultice before it dries out.
