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 for the day is to reach Paijanne Lake and complete the last two portages.
After a day of total rest it is always a new journey that begins.
The river carries us throughout the morning in a greyness that has lasted for a few days.
We navigate together as much as we tease about our respective roles.
It was then that I decided to give Amélie a nickname which would serve to provoke her motivation: "Turtle Kanot !"

- Wouaaaah, I like this nickname too much, "Turtle Kanot", it's too classy and what's more it's true !
- Yeah, but be careful not to become "Turtle brain"
- No but oooh !!! Who do you take me for?
- Well for the old man's daughter !

Portages are well anticipated and we take the time to accomplish them with panache.
On the other hand, Amélie will have to carry her bags and all the contents of her canoe.
I am not here to remove her from the efforts of which she is capable at her age.
3 to 4 times a day, you must continue to protect your skin with moisturizer.

I let you discover the laws of gravity and balancing of a canoe, while you initiate every day your pleasure of becoming capable.
You have been so busy with your responsibilities this year that you did little filming during the trip, you had so much to manage, that taking pictures went into the background.
You especially realized how much it is necessary to commit to manage everything and that to decide depends only on oneself.
It is only our trips to show you how much freedom is only the idea that one has of it.
We cross the last portage with the feeling of having arrived there and of feeling free.
But the worst will arise since it is just after the next image that we will lose the drone. He struck a tree and we watched him fall into the water, so close to the shore that it seemed obvious to us to find him.
But after two hours of diving into a bottomless river and braving the current, the clay soil and the dangerous roots, we abdicate. The cold, the tiredness and above all the complexity of the places prevent us from continuing to prospect so we decide to move away from this desolation.
We set out to join a bivouac on Lake Paijanne, because we know that this choice will wash our heads and make us admit the loss of the drone.
It's not dramatic, it's just a shame. The most important thing is that nothing burns.
We are even surprised that we do not feel affected by this loss.
The main thing is to be together and to be able to continue to live this life of vagrants.

The subject that focuses me above all is your burns, the rest does not matter to me. You dived for a good hour and this stay in the argillaceous clay water was beneficial to your wounds.
The moment imposes itself on us as an instant that must be appreciated.
The engine is stowed and the battery only serves as a counterweight at the front of your canoe. I see you grow and evolve, when I barely had time to imagine that you would grow.
But I respect as much as I admire, I let you do it while continuing to take into account the limits that I think I need to set! Being a father is risking your freedom, yet alone with you, you have only allowed me to flourish, it is this condition that still keeps me dependent on you.
We have exceeded 40 kilometers for this navigation. I can see the pride it gives you and I never imagined that you could love it so much, because I never forgot to instill humility in you. But there, I can only admit that you were remarkable.
Even if it took us more than 20 hours to cover the distance, it is your capacity for resistance and your determination that commands my admiration. However, I hardly dare inflict it on you because if you knew all the love I have for you, it will disturb your freedom.
My role as a father is to make you completely free to judge me, without you being able to consider cultivating the wish to neglect me.
It is better to sleep and imagine that we are close to having the same dreams, the same dreams that we actually live and that require to be volunteers.
The sun is essential for this day of rest and without knowing it, it will settle in an implacable and scorching way during a big fortnight.
The loss of the drone seems superfluous to us and it is only after two days that I ask myself the question of buying another one.
It's up to you to put your fully loaded canoe in the water.
I tease you so that you do all that falls to you, and you amaze me by producing efforts that I know by heart.
