Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

Midday Inventory and Engine Test

Kevin is at the dock and Jenny is in the garden.

Kevin completed a final Yanmar load test at the dock, confirming smooth operation with no vibration, then prepared the ditch bag with the letter to Tom, seed tin E, and spare impeller. Jenny inventoried the recovered supply crate contents and began limping back to the cottage to tend her ankle wound.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You stand by the dinghy's tiller with the fuel line primed. The grey sky hangs low as you prepare to push the engine to full throttle.

🔧 Kevin06:33

Kevin — advance throttle to full, watch the tach and feel for vibration through the tiller and transom. Hold it for two minutes.

💭 peek at the thought

Engine's been smooth at idle and half-throttle. Time to see if the vibration fix holds at full load. If it shakes loose now, better here at the dock than halfway across the channel.

🔧 Kevin06:37

Kevin — throttle back to idle, let it run a minute to cool. Kill switch. Wipe sweat off my face and check the fuel filter bowl one last time — clear, no water.

💭 peek at the thought

Yanmar held steady at 3200 RPM. No vibration through the tiller, no shake in the transom. The bronze sleeve and prop shaft true held. Engine's ready.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You sit on a garden bench with the open supply crate at your feet. Your notebook is open to a fresh page for the inventory list.

🌿 Jenny06:35

Jenny — write a list of every item found in the recovered supply crate.

💭 peek at the thought

My ankle is throbbing in time with the tide, and I need to know exactly what we have left before the infection takes hold of me entirely.

🌿 Jenny06:39

Jenny — stand up slowly, leaning on the bench for support, and limp toward the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm starving, and the smell of salt and decay in this garden is making my stomach churn. I need to get inside.
