Apart — Kevin at the dock, Jenny at the garden

The Before the Rain

Kevin returns to the cottage while Jenny prepares the interior for shelter.

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

🔧 Kevin — alone at the dock

You prepare the Yanmar for its final load test tomorrow. The water is getting choppy under the overcast sky.

Kevin — walk to the dinghy and inspect the stern line chafe guard at the mooring ring, then check the bow line slack for swell movement

💭 peek at the thought

The chop's building faster than the barometer's dropping. Yanmar's solid — proved it yesterday — but the dinghy's stern line will take the real test. Should check the chafe guard one more time before dark.

🔧 Kevin12:40

Kevin — pull the canvas engine cover over the Yanmar and secure the ties, then walk back toward the cottage

💭 peek at the thought

Chafe guard's holding. Bow line's got the right slack for the swell building. Good enough for tonight. Need to get the engine cover on before the rain hits proper.

🌿 Jenny — alone at the garden

You bring the last of inside to avoid the deluge. The first heavy drops fall against the roof.

Hold down, just hold down.

Step inside the way and bolt the heavy oak door.

💭 peek at the thought

If that tarp rips, the whole season is lost. The salt will get into everything.

🌿 Jenny12:43

Jenny — sit at the kitchen table and sketch the barometer by the light of the lantern.

💭 peek at the thought

The wind is howling through the eaves now. I can hear the cottage groaning under the pressure. Is the garden still there?
