Le compte-rendu : Direction Finlande (mise à jour : 18 févr. 2022)
This year we left as usual and this was perhaps the first mistake not to be made.
We left on June 29, 2021, three hours after the last patent test which closes the college course. Amélie returns home disappointed: the assignment which was promised to her in her future high school and approved by all, is refused to her by the Rennes academy when she will certainly be the student residing closest to the establishment. . She had already been preparing for this transition for three years, having become one of the best students in her class.
We did not expect to have to carry with us an extra bag filled with such fierce doubts, without however suspecting that it was going to become so heavy.
My daughter's distress is noticeable, so I call the Academy during a break on the highway, who tells me that:
"We don't go on vacation when the assignments are not closed !"
I don't even have time to talk to her about Erasmus to nail her arrogant beak, that she simulates verbal aggression on the phone !
"Stop insulting me sir, I'll hang up if it's like that !"... and she hangs up !!
We are hallucinating! Amélie by my side knows perfectly well that I've never insulted her and that I'm not so stupid to make such a mistake with the Academy !
Suddenly, we hit the road again in a shared disarray.

The next day in Belgium:
- By the way dad, where did you put my phone?
- Are you asking me for your phone number? You laugh ?!
- Tell me where it is, I need it to contact the director of the college
- But the hell, it's your phone and I never take care of it, so how can you believe that I took care of it! you saw the week I just spent getting everything ready, and you think I took care of your phone! Damn, you forgot your phone!
After having accused the blow, she knows that I will find a solution, so she adapts and takes her guilt in patience.

Arrived at the Skandinavikenkai we, for the first time, drove for 1350kms without having listened to a single minute of music, the atmosphere is heavy, more than the heat which is beginning to be felt in northern Germany and which reigns in northern Europe since the beginning of June.
When boarding nobody puts their finger on the question of the verification of the vaccine, and I find it hard to believe that once in Finland, we can be told to turn around on the pretext that Amélie does not go there. 'is not.
Italians, Swiss, English, Spaniards, Russians, Swedes, we had never seen so many license plates so diverse, it's like a desire to travel that takes everyone.
The price of the ferry ticket increases every year and this time it is 698 euros, just for the Travemünde - Helsinki trip. It was the article that appeared in Okapi just as we were leaving that allowed us to finance the ticket without it becoming complicated to finance !
I had to tinker with a roof rack for the car because the original one made us exceed 2m10, and therefore of vehicle category, and not paying 120 euros extra per trip is preferable, especially since employees measure with Freeze when doubt sets in, and it always does! the canoe peaks at 2.08 M !
there is always a Shining atmosphere on the ferry! Especially since I ask Amélie if she has put her navigation jacket in her things, which she wanted to prepare on her own.
Bingo: Amelie forgot her jacket! But as I can see that her high school problem is bothering her severely, I don't add to it.

No high school assignment, no phone, no sail jacket, and a dad who lets me marinate in my guilt before telling me what solutions he's found, because I can tell by his casual attitude he has already found !
Sometimes the horizon shrinks.
All the people are outside, because between the confinement and the size of the cabins there is a form of correlation !
Humans imitate each other to reassure themselves.
Cruising is not fun at all !
Everyone wears a mask under their mask.
Amélie is a formidable athlete and this trip will demonstrate it, without anyone suspecting that the end of SupervagabondS is so close.
It is when one begins to no longer understand anything that detachment takes place.
A father and his young daughter bring me back to what we were with Amélie.
They have fun as we knew how to do, heedless of the time which makes everything rust.
Watching them makes me realize that time has passed, and although we have enjoyed it so much, I have not seen its last fifteen years pass.
It's crazy how important humans are when they're here !
I find my friend the porthole who had never revealed his wounds so much.
I photograph a guy who photographs the Baltic, he saw me photographing the porthole and just after he pointed at my steps to do the same image, his lack of inspiration annoys me, so with this image I have the feeling of an artistic revenge by using its form to start thinking about the substance.
Do we have to photograph everything, film everything to remember?! The image has taken such a place in all societies of the world, whether frozen or animated, that it now seems to me that freedom lies in the fact of no longer capturing anything.
But this is only the beginning of the journey, and although I don't feel my desire to make images make me vibrate, I make images for the sake of the duty accomplished to make a travel diary and a film.
People machine-gun the sunset, I do the same while imagining all those who do the same on the ground, and it is the impression of being conditioned to assert our egos that concludes my thought.
This is the photo of my sunset, gna gna gna !
Self-mockery is the best way to avoid wasting time criticizing others !

When you are part of humanity, you have the freedom to think about it, or not.
The sauna guy notices
The Baltic is one of the most polluted seas in the world and impossible to change channels.
Sometimes when I see you filming, I tell myself that you did well to choose to study to become a psychologist !
The seagull that makes Chinese shadows.
It's a troubled arrival, we will have to work to find possible solutions to our problems before boarding the canoe, we must be able to leave with as light a spirit as possible.
Finland has also endured strict confinements and we can't wait to feel the atmosphere that now reigns in the country.
It was having to wait in the ferry on arrival that told us that something unusual was going on, all the vehicles pass under tents which are of no use other than providing shade !
The policeman who can be seen in the image came to shake with all his might the canoe stowed on the gallery, he seemed convinced that he was going to succeed in moving it but disappointment, he did not move an inch.
The controller only asks me if I am vaccinated, otherwise I just have to sign a sworn statement to enter to Finland !
Nothing is checked, neither the papers nor the QR code, we could have come no matter what, Israfil made it clear to us that the Finnish economy needs tourists to come to Finland, just like everywhere else.
