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.

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.
