As the starter shouts “Ready, Go!” the view is instantly filled with kayaks or canoes and cascades of water are thrown into the sky by countless paddles. Shortly after the fireworks of the start, all the paddlers make it back to the start area, jump out of their boats and speed down the designated portage line with coaches, team supporters and spectators enthusiast shouting and screaming trying to encourage their paddlers to go faster, to catch up, to get on the wash … You almost lose your breath of all the excitement, and so it goes on for several short rounds with a portage on every lap. Such is the breath-taking sport of Canoe Marathon of today!
This version of Canoe Marathon is very different to the so-called Classic Canoe Marathon competition where athletes started in one place and finished in another. A radical change; finding the right balance was crucial. A close dialogue with the national teams has secured the road with the main purpose of creating a spectacular competition with as much action within the view of spectators who do not have to move and are now able to watch most of the race where the start, portage and finish take place.
But Canoe Marathon is much more. The traditional or Classic Canoe Marathon races most often starts in one place and finish in another and involves all kinds of water; river, lakes, estuary and sea or combinations of these challenging paddlers on calm or flowing water with the main objective. The paddler has to take the water as it is found and be prepared if it is necessary to carry the boat around an impassable obstacle.
Many popular Canoe Marathon competitions are raced down sections of river, where the paddler must negotiate the currents, rapids or weirs, or else portage around these obstacles. Some of these events attract over 2000 athletes each year and are often run in several stages over several days.
Canoe Marathon is being practiced around the world on all continents in most member countries. The excitement of a Marathon race particularly during the portages. A sport with a lot of action.

A couple of unrelated WIPs for BricksCascade that both happen to be watercraft.
The mini sub is the smallest I could make and still fit a fig inside. (It's a tight fit.) It's based on some of the classic City subs.
The canoe is my attempt to stylize the Moana boat for a display. I still need to fix some of the colors and add some rigging, but I think it's a slight improvement over the set's model.
I took my dog muffin canoeing on Lake Thom-A-Lex this evening. This was her first time in the canoe and she seemed to really enjoy it.

This combination do not yield sharp image as expected. For developing this film, Finedol-R would make finer grain and the sensitivity is higher.
Actually, Canoeing the Tangles would be a good name for a band. But in this case it's just me, looking for Lake Trout in the Tangle Lakes.

There is magic in all canoes . . . the wooden canoe, is all magic!
