'Take Me Back to Maui'
(Sea turtles), 2026
Red Cedar
It was year three returning to the beautiful community of Powell River, BC. The crew of volunteers who stepped forward to help coordinate this event were incredible, every detail was taken care of, with a smile despite the long 12 hr days. Thank you so much, without them this event would cease to exist. We even had Pat from Road Warriors help wrangle our logs with his hiab and always with a smile. I carved sea turtles, for a first and I can say I really enjoyed it - more to come! Our mama bear Laura Passek, who coordinates everyone and everything fell ill soon after the event started- wishing her a speedy recovery π and a huge thank you to Michelle Pennell for documenting the event - your long days can be seen within all the moments captured - thank you for your great photographs!
