Last Minute Repairs

I took the boat out with the family last Sunday for a harbour cruise and to do a quick test to make sure everything was working properly. Ignorance is bliss. I should have left it tied to the dock. The transmission started to slip. It's probably been slipping for a while but became abundantly obvious on Sunday. After two missing knuckles, a sore back and the usual assortment of expletives I managed to wrestle it out of the boat. Now I'm scrambling to get it repaired. Everyone tells me that I'm lucky that it happened here. That's like being lucky you had a heart attack in front of the emergency ward.
