Apart — Kevin at the keeper's cottage, Jenny at the tide pools

Midday Work

Kevin is at the keeper's cottage and Jenny is at the tide pools.

Kevin retrieved a spare coax cable and insulator from the supply crate and cleaned the insulator shard at the stove. Jenny attempted to sketch sea beet morphology and search for limpets at the tide pools but found neither productive due to the rising tide and her swollen ankle.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the keeper's cottage

You stand on the cottage porch, looking over the garden and the dock. You plan to install the new shortwave aerial insulator later, but first you need to gather the parts that arrived with the supply boat.

Kevin — walk down to the dock, lift the tarp off the supply crate, and pry it open with the crowbar.

💭 peek at the thought

The insulator’s ready on the shelf — ceramic filed, tape peeled — but the coax and bolts are still in that supply crate down by the dock. Need to haul it up before the tide turns. Jenny’s ankle’s worse; she won’t be coming back soon. I’ll do this alone.

Kevin — pry the crate lid with the crowbar, sweep out the debris, and carefully pull the spare coax cable and the new insulator cartridge out. Take the ceramic shard to the stove to clean any salt residue before fitting.

💭 peek at the thought

The crate is stiff, the salt‑crusted cardboard clinging. If I can get the spare coax and half‑inch tape out, the radio will sing again. When the radio does, maybe the mainland will finally hear a voice.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the tide pools

You sit on a flat stone near the tide pools, watching the water recede slowly. You keep an eye on the sea beet beds, hoping the tide will drop enough for you to see and collect more specimens.

Jenny — pull the notebook from my bag and begin sketching the cross-section of a sea beet leaf.

💭 peek at the thought

The ankle is throbbing again. If the salt doesn't draw the heat out, I'm going to lose my mind.

🌿 Jenny11:35

Come on, just give me something worth today.

stand up slowly, shifting my weight off the swollen ankle, and walk toward the exposed pools to look for the limpets.

💭 peek at the thought

The tide is finally low enough. I can see the base of the rocks without the spray.
