https://youtu.be/uMMoNaql-BM?si=XQeIT2egkP6t3bTf I definitely wasn't excited to rebuild a transmission. This took way too long, and I was also splitting my time in Nanaimo helping Ryan on his boat haul out. Editing this episode down from nearly 6 hours of footage was quite the hurdle for my aging laptop. But we persist and get through it. This build is made possible by you and your support.

This time we're tracking down a few more issues, then prep and paint! Part of me wanted a stronger shine to this Old's Gold, but I'm quickly warming up to the vintage look. Once the details are on her, she will really shine. This build is made possible by you and your support. Thank you so much for watching, commenting and liking.

This was a really uplifting project, bringing back some of the spark that got me into sewing canvas in the first place. I've been totally burnt out on this work, and I'm not looking to start up work again just yet, I have too much to do for my boat, but when the time is right I'll get back into it. A big thank you to Maya and Aladino for their help with my projects over the years and their continued friendship, it was an honour to add something to their beautiful boat.
