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

Midday at the falling tide

Kevin is at the dock while Jenny is at the north cliffs.

Kevin spent the low tide at the dock, casting lines while monitoring the heavy, grey air. Jenny trekked along the north cliffs, documenting the soil transitions and Carex density despite the ache in her healing ankle.

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

Kevin stands at the edge of the dock, watching the silver flash of fish in the shallow water.

🔧 Kevin17:36

Kevin — walk to the shed and pull the fishing box off the supply boat — check the line and hooks.

💭 peek at the thought

The water's clear enough to see them — mullet, maybe, or small bass. Tide's low and the barometer's holding. Good day for a cast if the vibration fix holds.

🔧 Kevin17:42

Kevin — pinch two split shot onto the line, bait a hook with limpet meat from the pot, and cast from the dock's seaward end.

💭 peek at the thought

Hooks are sharp, line's clean mono — 20lb test, plenty for what's in close. No sinkers in the box but the shed has split shot. Jenny's at the cliffs; I've got time before the transect.

🔧 Kevin17:46

Kevin — reel in, swap the bait for a strip of silver mackerel skin from the tinned tin, and cast again with a slow retrieve.

💭 peek at the thought

Nothing touching. The fish are there — seen them flash — but they're not taking limpet. Might need movement, or something that looks alive. Tide's turning soon; slack water kills the bite sometimes.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the north cliffs

Jenny moves along the rocky rim of the north cliffs, looking for signs of soil erosion.

🌿 Jenny17:35

Jenny — kneels in the grit to poke a patch of exposed earth with a pencil, then sketches the fracture lines in the mud in her notebook.

💭 peek at the thought

The topsoil is thinning here; if it rains again like this, the whole north ridge will slide right into the own.

🌿 Jenny17:41

Jenny — stands up slowly, her knees popping, and looks out over the grey horizon where the supply boat is supposed to be.

💭 peek at the thought

I'm hungry enough to eat my own sketches, but there are only those cold limpets.

🌿 Jenny17:45

Jenny — wipes the mud from her notebook with her thumb and starts the long, uneven walk back to the cottage.

💭 peek at the thought

The ankle is throbbing again, a dull salt-heat that matches the heavy air.
