"Me, me me..!"
Raven mom delivers. All four of them got something. The noise they make when they see a parent fly toward the nest is quite something. But the nest is in a very safe place. And the father keeps an eye on it.

Restoring an old Mad River Malecite 1/x


The boat was stored outside for a long time and not used much. Here it is still with the previous owner.
A red canoe lies on a meadow. The colour and wood of the boat are badly weathered. There are light-coloured stickers on the front of the boat; a Mad River logo and the word Malecite to the right of it.


The gunwales were eaten away by fungus and almost fell off by themselves. Some of the fittings are also very rotten. The laminate inside looks great.
A section from the edge of the canoe. A piece of gunwale is missing, the existing wood looks bad. The laminate inside looks good and a warning sticker is also in good condition.


Step 1: Remove seats, thwarts and gunwales
Step 2: sanding, a real shit job
An old, red canoe lying upside down in front of a brick wall. The boat is very weathered and quite white. On the right-hand side, one part has been worked on and is clearly redder.

Journey on the River - Letting the natural movement of the boat on the choppy water capture the fascinating landscape ahead. A powerful journey into a mysterious vision that is powered by the soul of the photographer.

Total gut, dieser Protest. Sehr schön, dass so viele Menschen am Ufer standen und sich so dem Protest angeschlossen haben.
Verwirrte Gesichter, die auf einem Spaziergang waren und sich über die Idee des Wassersportfreunde Neptun e.V. freuten.

Zurück von der #Rheindemo heute in #Köln
Kaum am Treffpunkt an der Brücke angekommen, bewegte sich der riesige Pulk der bunten #Boote schon auf dem #Rhein Richtung Dom. Einige #Ruderboote waren extra aus #Bonn angerudert.Tolle Stimmung, Traumwetter und ganz viele, die vom Ufer aus mitgemacht haben.😍
Danke an alle, die diese besondere #DemoGegenRechts möglich gemacht haben.
Auf dem Wasser war ich zu beschäftigt zum Fotografieren, daher hier der Link zum WDR. www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rheinl…

Beau is working on creating more of these beautiful #cedar #canoe #bowls for future #CoastSalish #Indigenous ceremony purposes.

We are currently collaborating on trying to pull together the biggest flotilla protest ever held in BC waters - since the early colonialism wars on coastal Indigenous peoples by European invaders/colonizers. This is a massive undertaking. It will take several of us committed to decolonization work to pull it off. No more details available to public until we get things more organized.

I'll post info, as we get more organized & put calls out for help & comrades to come out to fill & paddle in multiple canoes & run safety boats near us, as needed too ✌️

@boiga It is part of why but not sole reason. Main reason is significance of Indigenous being left out of many political talks involving #SalishSea & access & uses of those marine areas. Second is the ongoing ecocide happening in & around Salish Sea. We are working with several different grassroots orgs including many involved with wild salmon & deforestation issues.

Beau is working on finishing up this traditional 28' #cedar #dugout #canoe - made from a 2nd growth log. He has several #Indigenous youth students who have been helping create this #CoastSalish canoe. They have a lot of sanding work to do in coming days.

This #documentary film -> Our Teacher, follows Beau in September of 2021. Beau set out on a path to carve a canoe on #Gabriola Island, #BritishColumbia #Canada. with local elementary school students. As children began to carve along with him, the cedar began releasing its life force, transforming the world around it with kindness, love, joy, and belonging. “Our Teacher” has been nominated for awards in multiple film festivals and is available for viewing online.

We had a great day on the river. But we had to climb a lot and it took us a lot of time (the picture is from an easy spot). The bank was soft from all the water and the trees were slippery from the frosty coating. The freezing fog was eating away at our faces and making our fingers capable of handling. So halfway along the route, I called a buddy to pick us up. The right time to end a tour like this is when you are still able to act.

Incidentally, everything was well thought out and planned. We know the route and have exit points at short intervals. The buddy on land was ready to pick us up. And of course we had the right equipment to go swimming in winter and to rescue ourselves. And yet, "biting through” is something for fitness studios, on the river it can quickly cost you your life

Cool science news of the day! The first ever audio/video recording of the moment of impact of a meteorite on Earth was captured on PEI last summer!

@Eric Phelps Well, I'm less interested in looking at pictures and more in an exchange between paddlers all over Europe. There are many local groups of kayakers in Germany, but active canoeists are rare here and widely spread across the country. Unfortunately, everyone seems to want to keep hanging out at meta. And of course, it's much nicer outside than on the net. 8)

Introduction - Hello & Welcome


Zuckerberg has now apparently burned the last bridges to the good side of the Force and wants to go to hell together with his rich friends, religious fundamentalists and other Nazis. In the hope that one or two brave souls will make their way out of the meta-molloch and into the fediverse, I am starting an attempt here to make myself findable for them.

There will be a lot of content here about canoeing, geese and other pleasant things and I look forward to a lively exchange.
