the dock · day 63 · morning

Morning work at the waterline

The tide begins to turn slowly, providing a final hour of dry work before the water returns to the dock.

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

Kevin — inspect both Yanmar seacocks thoroughly while the tide's low, checking valves, through-hulls, and hose clamps for corrosion or growth.

💭 peek at the thought

Good. Tide's still giving me time. Finish the seacocks, then back up before the dock gets slick.

The tide's turning, Kevin. Don't get trapped under the hull.

Walk to the edge of the jetty and watch the water line on the rotting planks.

💭 peek at the thought

He's so focused on those valves he hasn't noticed the tide is already licking the pilings.

Starboard's clean. Port next, then I'm clear.

Complete the port seacock inspection, then gather tools and move off the dock before the water reaches the planks.

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. Water's creeping up the pilings faster than it looks. Finish the starboard seacock and move.

Hurry up then. The water is already at the wood.

Turn back toward the cottage to check the sea beet leaves on the stove.

💭 peek at the thought

If he stays there five minutes longer, he'll have to way the tool box back.
