After breakfast, the two started making wooden crates. This time, the crates were larger—six meters long and three meters high. Ronan Kendrick assembled the sawn wood into frames, and Evelyn Ford lined them with plastic sheets, ensuring a perfect seal.
The snow in the yard could be collected again. The snow on the island was exceptionally clean. Evelyn Ford had boiled it once before. Generally, snowmelt contains various impurities and requires significant filtering before it's drinkable. But when the island's snow was melted, not only was there no residue, but it also had a hint of sweetness.
By nightfall, they had made ten wooden crates. They had to hurry and gather the fish and shrimp from around the island before the next wave of the storm hit.
