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.

Everything we take is aligned with the pontoon. There is no point in believing that it is adventure, it is just life that takes a more appreciable turn. No matter the total weight, it's too boring to always have to count.
The main thing is not to travel with the full weight of the food, scheduled for more than three months, especially since we will start the trip with a series of portages.

A few hours before departure everything seems easy, yet it is the excitement of emotions that prevents us from going faster. It will take us more than three hours to organize the loading of each canoe and the distribution of weights.
I observe the way in which you take your independence in hand, I believed so much that it could only distance us.
I no longer knew how to continue to justify my role as father, so this trip with two canoes is really the best way to make you discover your own abilities, by letting you admit that your need for me still exists.

We were there last winter and here we are ready to embark on this new journey, aware that it will continue to nourish and influence our duo.
Our relationship has also been built over the course of our escapades and today it takes on a meaning that we are the only ones to understand. We know that you shouldn't think too much, you have to charge everything and go, because our comfort zone is always somewhere else !
Embedded and ready to leave, we know that this moment was not the easiest.
It is always after the present forgives the weakness of the moment.

A small electric motor, with a push of 30 lbs, is supposed to help Amélie who does not see herself paddling all day.
Its battery is connected to a 50 watt solar panel and the whole is managed by a charge controller. There is a similar solar panel on my canoe to recharge the 2 lead batteries that we take.

To leave is to let go and have to rely on uncertainty.
Suffice to say: this engine will be used during the first two navigations, then it will be used for nothing, forever. It will be sold during the trip, as well as the battery and the charge controller, which is 35 kilos lighter in total !
We take pictures of this departure before facing a strong headwind, which will limit our progress to fifteen kilometers for this first navigation.
Very quickly the engine admits its weakness and I just need to take pleasure in paddling to overtake you.
This navigation is the inauguration of a new aspect of your freedom: you must manage your direction then maintain and correct what you are the only one who can now estimate.

For my part, there is nothing left in front of my horizon and I like to point it out to you, because it is also the evidence that you are growing and that the future that is coming does not belong than you.
After 7 hours of navigation against a tenacious wind, the end of a path which is used to put the boats in the water is perfectly suited to our way of wandering. We are exhausted from having reconnected with this way of life.
We decide to stay put for two whole days, our bodies need time to readjust to so much effort and rather than wanting to surpass ourselves, we cultivate the feeling of enjoying it.
The rain tingles the canvas regularly, this rainy weather assigns us to savor the comfort of our new tent.
We have in the canoes almost two months of food, it is this consciousness that allows us not to worry.

In Finland, you don't have to go far to feel distant. We are 15 kilometers from the cabin but all our efforts give us the feeling of being so far away from it.
It is so good to find this feeling of wandering by surrendering to the only possibility of existing without any other reference.
Nothing predicts yet that this stroll will become a way of seeing life differently, even if with each trip it is the feeling of living the apotheosis.
After two days of rest doing nothing but eating and resting to recover the energy of envy, the awareness of knowing that we are capable of absorbing physical efforts, leads us to want to sail.
Adventure is what keeps us affiliated, because life does not wait for those who neglect it.
