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

Midday work diverges

Kevin is at the dock preparing to chock the north piling and test the Yanmar under load. Jenny is at the north cliffs sketching sea beet morphology and checking the irrigation line.

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

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand at the dock's north end with greenheart shims, epoxy, and a mallet. The tide is slack low, exposing the piling toe and the void beneath. The Yanmar sits mounted on the dinghy, fuel filter clean, ready for a half-throttle load test to isolate the vibration.

Kevin — chock the north piling with greenheart shims and epoxy at low tide, then pull the dinghy out and run the Yanmar at half throttle under load to isolate the vibration

💭 peek at the thought

Void's deeper than last week — scour's eaten back another finger-width under the north piling toe. Greenheart shims are cut right, epoxy's fresh enough. Get them driven and bedded before the flood pushes back in. Then the Yanmar: half throttle, watch the tach, feel for that vibration through the transom. Prop shaft spun true on the bench, mast bracket's the only thing left.

Kevin — start the Yanmar, bring to half throttle steady, and run under load to isolate the vibration

💭 peek at the thought

Shims are seated, epoxy bedding in the void. Piling's solid for now — tide's turning, water already licking the greenheart. Good. Yanmar's next. Dinghy's floating free, lines slack. Fuel filter's clean, oil pressure up. Need to bring it to half throttle steady and hold it, feel through the tiller and transom. Vibration showed above 1800 RPM last time. If it's clean now, the bracket alignment held. If not, it's the injector pump.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

You pick your way along the cliff path toward the north ridge, notebook in hand. The irrigation line runs this way — you'll check for leaks where it crosses the rocky ground. Sea beet clusters cling to the salt-spray zone; you'll sketch their root morphology at the transect cairns.

Keep moving, Jenny. Keep moving.

Lean against a flat rock to catch my breath, opening the notebook to a fresh page.

💭 peek at the thought

My pulse is a drumbeat in my ear, and the heat won't break. If I stop now, the seeds stay in the tin forever.

Focus on the lines. Just lines.

Sketch the cross-section of a sea beet leaf, noting the density of the salt cells.

💭 peek at the thought

The fever is making the edges of the world blur, but those salt glands... they are so precise.
