SupervagabondS au pays d'Israfil et Tarja
Notre premier voyage à deux canoës, à chacun son embarcation, à chacun ses méditations.
Ce carnet est dédié à ma fille Amélie,
parce qu'avant de partir j'avais, tout comme elle, sous estimé sa capacité à être vagabonde.
A l'heure de dérouler ce carnet, elle n'attends que de repartir ensemble avec son canoë.
Nous pensions que ce voyage serait bien différent de celui de 2017, effectivement il fut vraiment un cran au dessus, autant dans les émotions de notre relation père fille, qu'au travers des rencontres qui ont eu lieu.
Le titre est aussi un hommage parce que sans ma fille, sans Israfil et Tarja, il y aurait moins d’émotions dans ce carnet.
Ce carnet est aussi un cadeau de noël pour ma fille, parce qu'il n'est pas obligatoire de consommer à outrance pour lui démontrer que je l'aime.

Our first trip to two canoes, to each his own boat, to each his meditations.
This notebook is dedicated to my daughter Amélie,
because before leaving I had, like her, underestimated her ability to be a vagabond.
When she unrolls this notebook, she is just waiting to leave together with her canoe.
We thought that this trip would be very different from that of 2017, indeed it was really a notch above, as much in the emotions of our father-daughter relationship, as through the meetings that took place.
The title is also a tribute because without my daughter, without Israfil and Tarja, there would be less emotion in this notebook.
This notebook is also a Christmas gift for my daughter, because it is not compulsory to consume excessively to show her that I love her.

Our goal is the other half of the food that we have to collect around August 1st at Israfil & Tarja in Antolla. This is also where we finally get the package from the drone.
The sun has been beating hard for more than ten days, and going through the water is still the best way to cool off and go upstream.
I didn't even have to tell you what to do!
You entered the current, you placed your canoe ideally, then taking support on the bow, you crossed this passage fingers in the nose, without hesitation on a single pebble !

As no one escapes his education and that I have no pride in claiming at that time, I am content to confirm to you that you are indeed my daughter and also a true vagabond !
I do not compliment you so often, however, I have always taught you the means to access your abilities and above all, to define your own pleasure.
Always wanting to estimate one's capacities is a path that requires doubting to assert oneself.
Be free not to assess yourself, it is better to savor life rather than to be sure of nothing or to doubt everything !

A small portage awaits us at the end of the day. We make several breaks during navigation only because of the lack of clouds, supposed to allow us to take advantage of the shade.
In these heatwave times the reception is still a little cold, so I take the time to explain why we dared to dock on a private ground, on which sits a sauna.
She explains in return that they had never seen anyone go by there in canoes for years, recognizing that it is the only path that allows to reach the next lake .... So this is is not our fault if it has become private !
Their friends do not approach, they seem to protect the entrance to the sauna .... Would they have heard of our tendency to be addicted !?
The couple who welcome us and who are only friends, focus on us to the point of neglecting their friends !
As they ask a lot of questions on our journey we take the time to explain them. I determine the place where we plan to bivouac, they authorize and advise us since the land belongs to the gentleman.
This is an opportunity to take out the Bible and ask them to become an apostle! She specifies that they are not married, I retort that it is a shame because they would make a beautiful couple!
She does not believe her ears but as her friend does not speak English, she nods with a smile which conceives with innocence.

As a cliché, it is the man who is interested in the stuff and he seeks to understand the solar energy circuit which is housed in the battery, I offer to buy the whole but it is not in need of such material.
They realize that their friends seem annoyed, so they go to join them, we still have to mount the canoes on the carts and prepare our portage.
But immediately installed, here is that the man offers us his help to push to the path that acts as a road, and on which is planted a sign with a canoe crossed with a red cross !
Time to say "Goodbye" and they dropped their friends again, who never came near us, without even greeting us! We leave Kirsm and Mauno with no way of understanding so many differences.
- Amélie, did you see this guy's head, he looked like an American film actor!
- Yeah he reminded me of someone, but I don't know who!
- Regardless, he had a lot of charm this man.
- Yes it is true that his gaze was captivating.
- That's why I'm sure Kirsm is in love with Mauno without ever daring to tell him!
- But how do you think such things when we are embedded on their land ?!
- I don’t think about it, it stands alone!
- In any case, they were really happy to sign in the Carnets d'Aventures!
- Yeah, it's probably the best way for them to feel considered by the vagrants that we are.
- Until then I'm hungry!
- Nothing worse than the desire to eat to have a discussion!
- Huh what, are you saying ?!
- Nothing important, we have to move on.

It's a tiny portage that will end the day and give us the feeling of not having lost it!
My canoe is always heavier than yours, so there is no point in making me think I am getting old !

The truth is that I have a calf that makes me excruciatingly painful, as soon as it is requested the muscle congestion and become hard as a pebble. I have been massaging regularly since our departure, the problems of the first portage were a source of internal tensions which are at the origin of this concern.
I walk limping, the pain is so compelling. It is mentally that it is interesting to realize that it is possible not to have the choice: it is necessary to advance then I advance ... And I tell myself at this moment that I prefer to suffer in order to arrive up to the bivouac corner, rather than having to fast as Olivier and Johanna lived !
The main thing is that the mind cannot let the pain take on an amplitude, which I am ultimately the only one to allow it.
To do without eating after such efforts seems inconceivable to us. I would even say that food takes on the form of a reward after such a day.

We cover ourselves with long sleeves because the mosquitoes tumble en masse, then I can see your desire to pass in front !
You take the lead of the convoy and it becomes exhilarating to see you act with such ease. This trip makes you discover that you are able to lead your boat and you start to wonder how far you are able to go.
You also get to grips with the notion of effort and determination like none of our trips had allowed you to do so yet. It is an introspection.
You have much more than the energy of your youth, your notions let you know that everything is normal. You did not expect to have to get involved at this point and yet it is this condition that flourishes the freedom of your personality.
You no longer want my help but you realize that my advice is very useful for you to see things in a logical way and therefore, likely to be reassuring.
You seem to have no doubts about your abilities, which you recognize, however, not yet fully discovered !
To travel as we do is to meditate for the long haul, because our patience is constantly tested by the passage of time.
Our travels are landmarks in your life and you too are sometimes surprised to have all the memories we share while traveling.
Now we are on an equal footing: you manage your independence and your autonomy, so I'm teasing you because you don't even care about the route, the stages and the timing! You know how to use your GPS perfectly but you admit that you are too lazy to prepare the navigations, on the sole pretext that I will take care of it whatever happens !
As we are a duo, it is difficult to escape from the other, that's why you know how to express your anger as much as your satisfaction, I have never prevented you from expressing the panel of your emotions , I just set limits not to be exceeded.
Today by pulling your canoe, you realize that certain limits depend only on you and that it will be the same for the rest of your life. You are growing faster than my notion of passing time.
Because you remain, my child, my baby, the infant I have cared for so much.
Because you remain, my child, my baby, the infant I have cared for so much.
This journey takes the turn of a revelation, as much for you as for me: you discover your abilities and I discover what you are capable of !
Then pride has no place in a relationship that delights in so much cohesion. We add a lot of derision, humor and freedom of speech. Everyone expresses rather than frustrating their ideas and feelings.
We pitch the tent in a totally improbable place, whatever, as long as it is possible and it invalidates our desire to remain vagabonds.
