Le canoë : Une activité emblématique du paysage canadien 🇨🇦🛶

Le canoë est bien plus qu'un simple loisir au Canada, c'est un symbole de l'exploration et de la connexion avec la nature. Des milliers de lacs et de rivières invitent à l'aventure, et le canoë est le moyen idéal pour les découvrir. Une expérience inoubliable! #Canoë #Nature #Aventure #Exploration #Loisirs #Français 🇨🇦 #Canada

Reminds me of a picture I took back in June 2006 on #Norfolk #England's #HicklingBroad.

It was part of a sequence that accompanied an article in published in the magazine "Norfolk Afloat" that covered the Open Canoe #Sailing Group's visit to the #NorfolkBroads

#nationalpark #canoe #boating

An open canoe with the typical 30 plus 14 sq ft ketch rig. With very short masts the boat barely heels even on a broad reach, allowing you to sit comfortably on the centre plate housing.

A personal dilemma, please help! :blobcatfearful:

At Sunday we're went on the Amblève between Stavalot and Coo (10km). Rated between Ourthe and Rur in terms of difficulty the river offered us a lot of nice play spots with rocks and rapids.
We had already handed over our accommodation in a clean and tidy condition before the trip, so that we could all make our way home after the tour.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable and lovingly self organized gathering of almost thirty European whitewater canoeists. I met lots of nice new people and learned new things on the water. Many thanks to everyone involved for this wonderful weekend. 3/3

Photo on the river. Over the bow of my boat, I can see a person in a whitewater canoe moving from the eddy into the current. Two people in a tandem are coming down the river from above. The person in the stern is holding their paddle horizontally at eye level.

Photo taken from land of a river. Several large rocks are visible in the fast-flowing water. Two tandem canoes with crews are positioned behind these rocks, their bows facing upstream. A person in a solo whitewater canoe is coming down the river and heading toward the right bank.

Photo taken upstream. On the opposite bank, on the right, a person is standing in the water next to their canoe. Behind them, another person is sitting in their boat. At the left edge of the picture, another person in a solo boat is coming around the bend.

Our Belgium friends invited us to paddle small, sporty rivers in Belgium and Germany. Last weekend, the time had come and on friday, we paddled 18km at the Ourthe between Houffalize and Nisramont. The Ourthe is not a very challenging body of watervery was a funny tour to warm up and to have a chat with new people. 1/3

In the evening our hosts made a really great dinner which German organizers would do well to take a leaf out of their book.

@dose Welcome to Mastodon.

Your mission (more canoes and geese) is worthwhile. Back at ya with a couple canoe pics from the day I completed and launched my cedar-strip canoe, about 19 years ago; and from a local pair of Canada Geese.

Can't canoe now because we have too much fVcKiN ice! Can't wait til #iceout

A man inspects a wooden (cedar-strip) canoe while wading in a shallow water body. The man dons shorts, a blue t-shirt, red life vest (personal flotation device), a red hat, and holds a bent-shaft canoe paddle.

A man entering a wooden (cedar strip) canoe in a shallow water body. Water drips from his foot as he brings it from the river into the canoe. Small boulders are visible in the foreground emerging from the water; a sandy river bank with green vegetation is in the background, beyond a calm river channel. The man wears a red vest personal-flotation device and red cap.

The foreground goose has its head tilted about 45 degrees from the photographer's vantage; the background goose's neck is bent around 90 degrees as it reaches its head over the tail of the foreground goose. The brownish water surface is somewhat textured and wavy.

In the game of life and evolution there are three players at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. I am firmly on the side of nature. But nature, I suspect, is on the side of the machines.
