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.

Description :
Nous aurions pu partir en canoë et rejoindre la cabane pour terminer notre voyage, mais nous avons préféré rester un peu plus longtemps au camping plutôt que de rentrer à la cabane en 3 ou 4 navigations.
Pentti nous propose de nous amener au bord du lac qui nous mènera à la cabane, puisqu'il doit se rendre a Mikkelli.
Il ne restera plus qu'un seule navigation pour rejoindre notre point d'arrivée même si dans nos têtes, le voyage en canoë est déjà terminé.
----------------------
We could have gone by canoe and joined the cabin to finish our trip, but we preferred to stay a little longer at the campsite rather than going back to the cabin in 3 or 4 sailings.
Pentti offers to bring us to the lake which will take us to the cabin, since he has to go to Mikkelli.
There will only be one navigation left to reach our point of arrival even if in our heads, the canoe trip is already over.

Report : Nav 26 / 2 Septembre (updated : 25 Dec 2019)
After nine days on the spot, Israfil, Pentti, and Stewart Jones, an English client who travels by canoe and also has a drone, decide the day before our departure to load all our belongings on the trailer.
We carry the canoes with Israfil while the drone films Amélie who does the same with us. It's time to take pictures before you leave, because during all these moments spent together, it really wasn't a priority.
Then we do not betray our feeling of traveling without harming: Pentti's car is electric, one of those with batteries whose manufacture pollutes as much as a diesel car !
The world is imperfect, so it is ideal for human relationships.
The drone films the scene while they take care of everything, and seem to find that normal !
Due to its position as an elder, Pentti manages the maneuver without imposing the slightest feeling of directing others.
It is wisdom that teaches.
It is wisdom that teaches.
The sun has already set at the time of the last sauna.
But why do some go so far to find themselves alone in the world by feeling the need to share it with as many people as possible!?! It seems contradictory to me.

It had to happen and the outcome is really positive: It is not every day that we can meet people who make you want to stay !
Pentti and Israfil are going to start the construction of a small wooden room, and we are going back to the hut with the project of rebuilding the wood shelter before returning to France.
I also have to keep my commitments: I will have to make a clip for Israfil & Tarja to promote camping, another for Pentti who is passionate about birds and nature, then a third to present it to a local elected official. who could decide, according to my draft, to allocate me a budget to produce an official clip to promote the Luonteri region, all thanks to Israfil.
We embark for the last navigation: a hike of around forty kilometers without having paddled for ten days.
It is this day that will begin the settling of our feelings troubled by this meeting, and now this rupture.
The landscape is even more beautiful when it allows to sow its most cumbersome memories.
You are in the best position to know that I am more apt to meet people when we travel, than in our daily life.
You have discovered how much I can appreciate having friends !
Our trips have neither the pretension nor the culture of vanity for the kilometers covered.
Even always together, we have learned to consider each person's individuality and rhythm.
This last navigation will have an end, but we are moving forward in order to delay the deadline as much as possible.
It's the kind of day that can derail the soul.
To be two is not to be lonely at will.
Each represents towards the other, humanity likely to be forgotten when we travel in this way.

These moments during which nothing seems to happen are magical, yet life continues to inscribe in us the precious of this passing time.
I think this is the first time in my life that I can feel a notion of pride: that of having been your travel teammate, I took the opportunity to be the guarantor of your motivation.
You know how I am able to motivate you with chosen and sometimes insane words, but it is the way I taught you to listen to them that allows you to decipher all their effectiveness.
Being my daughter may not be as important as being your father.
In any case, you know that these trips also allowed you to discover life in a way that was worth living.

This year, you have done more than I did on camp. But all parents would tell you that "You are young and full of energy!"
We know that it was the end of a journey that further upset the notions that one could cultivate of life.
Don't forget your old daron when you are an emancipated adult!
I did everything so that I could not have the taste of the bitterness that kept me away from my parents.
I did everything so that I could not have the taste of the bitterness that kept me away from my parents.
I learned how to become one and I love being your father, because you dismiss me without knowing it, all of which I remain capable and incapable.
Each day of travel encourages us to continue to wander in this way. Our dialogue is so free that no one can bear the frustration of not speaking.
I also like when you blame me, because by being your father, you also make me a human.
The end of a trip is for you the reunion with your girlfriends and your social life, while at each return I must avoid endorsing a depression which seems to me however inappropriate !
Everything will be better next year when we hit the road for a new trip.
"To travel is not to live but to hope", there is no better time to make this thought sensitive.
"To travel is not to live but to hope", there is no better time to make this thought sensitive.
You know how much our journeys require to be invested in the least of our decisions, the least of our thoughts.
I know that this apprenticeship shaped your determination and founded your sense of conviction, it is me your father.
I know that this apprenticeship shaped your determination and founded your sense of conviction, it is me your father.
It has taken me decades to tame what you master in an innate way, sometimes I take the example without acknowledging being inspired by you.
I'm good at passing on to you, and you know there's nothing stopping me from having to admit.
I'm good at passing on to you, and you know there's nothing stopping me from having to admit.
Being alone in the world would not allow us to savor everything that becomes so precious by being just the two of us.
I like to let you go ahead, because the idea of knowing that I can still catch up with you reassures me.
There is little time before our life changes, yet you know how much our journeys need to be together to enjoy each other.
Telling the pleasure of being on the water for hours is to try to make people believe that it is possible to understand it without sailing !
I'm not the one who will leave you, yet I'm teaching you to leave when I die before you.
This trip is a revelation for you: that of wanting to continue traveling by canoe.
You have discovered the pleasure of operating your boat and taking responsibility for your load.
You paddled like nobody expected!
You now know the pleasure of meditating for long-distance sailing and the well-being it provides.
At the time of writing a notebook, we already know that traveling together will become the link of our lives.

Why does happiness manifest itself at this point when it is only a question of living ?!
We are going to sail at night while a thunderstorm is steadfast in front of us, as much as our direction is steadfast towards us.

There are ten kilometers to go before concluding this final navigation and our feeling of traveling, but life never warns of what it is capable of.
You know how much I love the night of his talent to distance us from reality, until we no longer make us believe that it is necessary to exist.
We will never forget these last three hours sailing in total darkness in the rain and the storm, shaken by invisible, unpredictable and raging waves.
You shouted at me your fear while I drowned mine in the casualness I had of yelling at you my joy at being there with you.
This is the only time on this trip where we were really afraid without having shared it, I had to remain reassuring for you.
Terrified by lightning likely to hit our carbon paddles, we got there with the dumb feeling that we deserved it.
We have so much to live for.
This is only the end of this notebook.
Only the ability to understand each other connects us by the simple evidence of feeling our parentage.
I love you my daughter, do as you see fit, the rest does not matter, he will take care of us.
