Le compte-rendu : 10 Juillet Nav 3 (mise à jour : 11 févr. 2022)
We leave Rokansaari without being able to forget that this is the beginning of the end.
It is agreed between us that it will be a happy ending.
It is agreed between us that it will be a happy ending.
It is July 10 and without any response from the academy, registration for high school closes on July 13 and I made it clear to Amélie that you should not expect an answer, and that You might have to think about alternatives.
Every day we carry around this unfair feeling of not being considered, as well as this anger that makes me say that if necessary, we will go to the administrative court to assert our rights !
We are there traveling well aware, perhaps too much, of the bitter certainties that prevent us from savoring the sweetness of life.
My daughter, who has taken her life in hand since middle school, was congratulated by her teachers during confinement for her diligence, and I, her father, saw how much she worked hard to achieve her goals, because it's his choice !
So being refused entry to the Lycée de Treguier where she will live with her grandparents, just opposite the establishment, is intolerable, especially since the academy has assigned her to a high school in Loudéac where she does not know nobody, in boarding school !
So even when the sun is shining, there is always a thought to blur our pleasure, but thoughts are like the shape of clouds, unpredictable.
She finds it hard to accept not understanding why, and I find it hard not to be able to take more action to solve this major problem.
Regularly we discuss it because something escapes us and it's like redundant pollution.
We realize that this problem will be part of the trip and that its weight will have to be shared between us.
This concern rallies us more to each other when at the start of the school year in September, Amélie will leave the house and nothing will make her go back.
We still decide to put this problem aside because registration for high school will now only be possible at the end of August...
knowing full well that we don't get rid of such a problem so easily, a bit like our waste that we carry around the time to find suitable bins !
We did not expect to take such a galley by canoe !
Our pleasure was not vaccinated towards such an unexpected event.
Our destination for the day is the island of Honka-Ruuho, a paradise in our eyes.
Honka-Ruuho I have always considered it ours !
Because we only came across very comfortable motorboats or sailboats, which move forward using their engines as soon as there is no more wind.
To get to this island by paddle you must already know it, then its location is like on the edge of the Saimaa.
Everything agrees to be beautiful on this island, and that is enough.
Discovered by chance in 2019, there are places capable of soothing me just when I think about it.
Since then it's like a feeling of love that keeps me obsessed with this place.
At five o'clock in the morning I'm already up, while Amélie honors the fatigue of teenagers until noon !
Alone on this beach, I wander aimlessly from one end to the other, doing nothing but enjoying the time spent with my feet in the sand.
The water is lukewarm, and at this early hour I have already gone swimming, it is simply incredible that the water is at this temperature.
I intend to celebrate Maria Sabina during this trip and Honka seems like the perfect place, but the worry we brought with us challenges me to face it, so I decline for the moment.
In navigation the big canoe asks me for a form of permanent contrition, that will teach me to consider it as a kind of God. It's so heavy when loaded that I can't get it up on the beach at the same level as the other one.
This trip shows me that it is possible to be independent for whole months with such a hound, because it may be loaded, I could still add a lot, but the counterpart is to have to provide a sustained effort with each paddle stroke. By unloading it, it is still possible to make portages but their durations risk being multiplied by five !
We decide to stay two days, there is no hurry, the weather is still so hot. the thermometer rarely drops below 35 / 40° during the day and the "night" at 2 am it is still 28°
The watch that serves as a barometer is placed around my wrist just long enough to take the photo, the temperature displayed does not have time to be influenced by the heat of my skin.
Happiness is when it becomes impossible to describe.
And the sadness is when it becomes urgent to write it !
We would have liked to have stayed longer but we know that we have to keep up the pace, because our muscles have not yet broken down from our long days of sailing.
Like at the cabin in winter, I could stay here, watching an entire season pass.
At the end of this first day of rest, a hot and powerful wind rises, one could believe in the mistral.
So hot that it does not refresh anything, but it envelops us in an incessant caress.
This wind will last until the night, we sleep with the tent fully open, and its breath is saving.
A day on Honka with you is like the world that exists only for us.
- Amélie, you're not burning your last hopes, I hope?!
Then I provoke her by telling her that she should have taken tanning lessons !
Then I provoke her by telling her that she should have taken tanning lessons !
Honka from another angle.
There is always a path from darkness to light.
