Canoe Party. Liverpool Water Sports Centre. A chance for Frodo to use his wetsuit. The boys got to jump in the dock afterwards.

Rebuilt from a mighty white oak, Jono shared with my son and I the details and history of his favourite canoe.
Canoeing on that magical day when solid lake ice turns to crumbly cocktail ice! I fished the cracks in the ice until about midday, the wind opening new routes and closing old ones as I went. Then I realized something of a seasonal milestone was happening right infront of me.......large patches of ice went from rigid to near fluid (literally), like a spandex skin on the lake surface. When looked at more closely it resembled perfectly interlocking, but individual cocktail ice.....like a puzzle of 2inch ice pieces floating on the lake....I am sure the Inuits have a name for this!!!

In April 2013 we hauled our canoe and tent over to Merchants Millpond State Park and enjoyed some very fine camping and paddling.
One day we paddled east through the millpond, through Lassiter swamp and up Bennett's Creek for about two miles before turning around. The high water this year made the paddle up Bennett's Creek a record setter, beating by far (almost a mile I reckon) our previous attempts. Highlights were lunching on an old, now flatten, beaver lodge and spotting a yellow-crowned night heron.
The next day we put in for the first time at the Gatesville dock/ramp and paddled up the Bennett's Creek Paddle Trail to the Merchants Millpond dam and back. Another great paddle with many beaver lodges, jumping fish, and another great lunch at the turn-around. This paddle trail also has a couple of platforms for canoe-camping.
In the map above, the first paddle is the *green* line; the second the *red* line. Our campsite is circled in *yellow* and the *orange* X marks our favorite lunch spot.
Christchurch, New Zealand,

The image depicts a Waka taua, a traditional Māori war canoe that exemplifies the rich craftsmanship and cultural significance of the Māori people. Waka taua were used by Māori tribes in New Zealand primarily for warfare, serving as a means to transport warriors to battle. They also symbolized prestige and tribal identity.
A defining feature of these canoes is the tauihu, the intricately carved prow located at the front of the vessel. These carvings often depicted ancestral figures, guardians, or symbolic patterns with profound spiritual meaning, representing the mana, or spiritual authority, of the canoe and its people. Equally significant is the taurapa, the elaborately carved stern at the back of the canoe. Like the tauihu, the carvings on the taurapa balanced the visual and spiritual weight of the canoe, adding to its ceremonial importance.
The carvings on Waka taua showcase the exceptional wood-carving skills of Māori artists, known as whakairo, with intricate designs that often symbolized genealogy, spiritual beliefs, and tribal narratives. These canoes were typically crafted from large tree trunks, such as tōtara, which were hollowed and shaped with precision using traditional tools. They were often adorned with lashings and decorative patterns, sometimes inlaid with paua (abalone shell) to enhance their visual appeal.
Waka taua were impressive in size, often reaching up to 30 meters in length and capable of carrying between 80 and 100 warriors, depending on the specific design and purpose. They were more than just a mode of transportation; they embodied the history, unity, and strength of the tribe. The launching of a Waka taua was a highly ceremonial event, accompanied by rituals to invoke protection and ensure success. This photo beautifully captures these cultural and historical elements, highlighting the intricate carvings of the tauihu and taurapa, along with the elegant shape and craftsmanship that make Waka taua iconic within Māori culture.
