Streamlining the camp gear we packed up in a canoe and paddled our way over to Little Square Pond near the Saranac Lake area. Finding a campsite only accessible by water, we had a campsite completely off to ourselves.
From a canoe in a exhibit at the Mariner's Museum - Stationary Voyages -- Boats as Art. This Ceremonial Canoe came from San Cristobal in the Solomon Island. It had great little works of art in the canoe design.
O.K., now we move into the Bay of Islands section (the last part) of the trip.
This canoe was really impressive. Did I mention that it holds 150 people!?! The picture was taken at the Waitangi Treaty grounds, where, to make a long story short, the basis for the country of NZ was created in the form of an agreement between the English crown and many Maori chiefs of NZ. (basically...very basically)

My great, great Aunt Bessie in a canoe on the shores of Lake Ontario sometime in the late 1920s.
Her husband Wes probably took the picture.

Canoe Carnival 2009. Every year I take my camera and take shots of the floats. The shots are worthless, as they never convey even an ounce of the drama and beauty and fun of sitting in the dark by the side of the lake and watching crazy people paddle humongous floats balanced precariously on two canoes. There is no way to convey that in a photo. At least not with my camera and skillz.
This year the wind was blowing and there was an actual current on the lake. The floats were doing fine on our side, going downstream, but once they turned the corner to go back up they were having trouble. There was a big jam of floats pretty much directly across the lake from us as the paddlers tried in vain to get those things to move. Then R. said he was tired and asked to go to bed and as I had a race in the morning and had to get up at 6:30 I complied. So I don't know what happened.
