Apart — Kevin at the keeper's cottage, Jenny at the north cliffs

Garden inspection and engine tuning

Kevin is at the keeper's cottage; Jenny is at the north cliffs

The dry season wind rattles the palms as the air pressure continues to drop. Kevin monitors the water tank for signs of the previous leak holding under, while Jenny uses the low tide to forage for sea beet specimens near the tide pool edges.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You walk toward the garden, noticing the disturbed soil and missing basil. You check the Yanmar’s prop shaft alignment by sighting along the stern bracket, then tighten the mounting bolts a quarter turn.

💭 peek at the thought

The basil’s gone — rat or crab? Doesn’t matter now. The prop shaft’s true, but the bracket’s still off just enough to hum. Tightened the bolts; vibration should drop. Jenny’ll want those limpets soon.

Kevin — rinse the limpets in seawater, then place them in the pot on the stove to boil.

💭 peek at the thought

The garden’s a mess — soil turned, basil snapped clean at the stem. Not wind. Rat’s been back, or maybe Jenny disturbed it checking on the poultice. Either way, the limpets are waiting. I’ll rinse them, boil quick, bring them up. No point staring at dirt.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You pace the cliff path, eyes scanning the tide pools below for limpets and noting the coconut crab’s tracks in the sand. You open your notebook to a fresh page and begin labeling the sea beet sketch with elevation notes.

Jenny — make sketch: detailed morphology of sea beet salt glands on the cliffside.

💭 peek at the thought

The pressure is dropping too fast; if this storm hits before the boat comes, the garden is going to be lost to mud.

🌿 Jenny09:49

Jenny — walk back toward the keeper's cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing in time with the wind; I need to check the salt water again before it gets cold.
