Supply boat arrival at high tide
The supply boat rounds the headland at 0640, engine throbbing in the calm. Kevin stands on the dock with the come-along and wheelbarrow; Jenny leans on her driftwood cane at the top of the gangway, ankle wrapped and elevated. The captain cuts power and the bow nudges the fenders. Crates sit lashed on deck: replacement impeller, antibiotics, radio parts, and the rest of the manifest.
No narrator was available, so nothing about this stretch was recorded.
Morning. Impeller and medical crate first — wheelbarrow's by the bow.
step onto the boat's gunwale to receive the first crate, come-along ready

Keep the medical crate dry. I need those antibiotics before anything.
Lean heavily on the good leg, watching Kevin haul the crate toward the dock.

Medical crate first. Wheelbarrow's staged — I'll run it up.
haul the medical crate onto the dock with the come-along, then wheel it toward the cottage on the wheelbarrow, keeping the tarp over it

Take your time. I'll meet you halfway with the generator tools.
Shift weight carefully from the driftwood cane to my good leg, then hobble toward the cottage door.

Crate's going under the porch roof. Generator tools are on the bench.
wheel the medical crate up the gangway and under the cottage porch roof, pull the tarp tight over it, then head back for the next load

Watch the fuel line bracket while I change my dressing. Need clean gauze from the medical kit.
Limp toward the cottage door, favoring the wrapped ankle, reaching for the dry gauze roll.

Gauze is in the medical crate, top layer. I'll get the rest of the gear off the boat.
turn back toward the dock to offload the remaining crates — impeller, radio parts, and the rest of the manifest

Kevin, wait— I need to check my infection line. Can you bring me the cleanest gauze you find?
Sit heavily on the cottage step, wincing as the poultice shifts against the wound.

Right. Clean gauze coming up.
wheel the medical crate back to the cottage steps, lift the tarp, pull the fresh gauze roll from the top layer, and hand it to her

way. Just... hold the light for a second?
Take the gauze with trembling fingers, beginning to peel back the sticky tape from my ankle.

Got it.
pull the LED headlamp from my neck, click it on, and crouch beside her on the step, holding the beam steady over her ankle

Kevin, the infection's spreading faster than the poultice can hold.
Trace the red streak with my finger, careful not to press, watching the light catch the heat shimmering above the skin.

The antibiotics are in you. Give them time. I'll get the rest of the supplies secured and check the radio parts — we can call out if it worsens.
keep the headlamp beam steady on her ankle, jaw tight, not looking at the streak

I don't want to call for a medevac... not yet.
Peel the old, damp way away, biting my lip as the fibers stick to the wound.
