    In a few moments we decided to paddle at night, prepare torches for better visualization of the group. Paddling at night requires closer interaction and canoes. All paddlers should be aware, it is easy to get lost in the immensity of the waters. At the same time, the experience is completely different at night the sea is calm and we can view the plânctos shining every stroke. The moon was nearly full, shining like a sun. On one such night we stopped at a rowing sambaqui a civilization which lived about a thousand years ago. The site has a strong energy, also found shells and human bones. by: wanderlustmind Views[797] Paddle, walk, climb, descend, meet, talk, observe, feel, canoe trip challenges and transforms each of its members. Every person, every conversation, every child, every look has some message, some knowledge to pass. The exchange of culture is impressive, personal growth within this trip is inexplicable. We realize that every journey leads to the same place: ourselves. Traveling is not only leaving home, says Michel Serres, is primarily to find the other because it is from him that we learn. by: wanderlustmind Views[565] Were approximately 150 km traveled rowing and sailing in canoes carved from a single wood trunk. The expedition had 15 stops, among these, eight communities. Traveled inlets, bays and rivers shaped maze, isolated places impossible to be visited without the presence of a native. Woke up, anxious and apprehensive, at 5 pm on July 1 with a rain and a rousing uplifting cold. We went towards the beach and getting there we encounter six canoes, we were surprised that we had to build our candles using sheets, ropes and bamboos. Cell phones off, no clocks or expectations, one stroke sufficed for the journey begin. by: wanderlustmind Views[527] Almost always paddled endlessly until the doors of a community hidden in the mangroves or the arms of a river, in the woods or on top of a hill. The canoe trip requires one of the integral absolute detachment. The hours of rowing varied independently of weather conditions (sun, rain, cold or wind) or the human condition, sometimes felt hungry, some people got sick and tired took care of us all. Over time communities were becoming increasingly distant and the presence of the forest, mangrove and mountains more exuberant. We have always been well received in the communities in which we are very simple people, but possessing a very rich culture, a tradition that should be preserved. Find fishermen, hunters, shellfishermen, artisans, fandangueiros, oyster collectors, teachers, healers and many others. The way of life is guided by mysticism caiçara related to use of mangrove land and sea. However, there is a huge conflict you enter the laws governing the nature of the region. The main conflict was noted the application of the laws of nature conservation clash with subsistence activities of the communities. The laws bring several concepts and rules in practice occur irregularly and are often a threat to such communities, not reconcile its existence with nature preservation. People living in extreme states of insecurity mainly related to health and education, abandoned schools where teachers work virtually alone, there is a large government neglect. by: wanderlustmind Views[748] It all began on 31 June with a gathering of 14 people on the Island of parts. Overnight organize the food that we would eat and load during the next 15 days, and also the clothes that we raised to be donated to the traditional community during the trip. We got to the paradise and desert island of Bananas. Unloading the luggage we had another surprise: everything was wet. Our lodge in a cave, made fire and Renato presented in the script of the trip. We made a circle and talked, each was given a new name, dined and slept inside the cave. From there it would be so cold bath, toilets rare, little comfort, but very challenging and learning. Almost always paddled endlessly until the doors of a community hidden in the mangroves or the arms of a river, in the woods or on top of a hill.

    Island Bound: Villages scattered along palm fringed beaches, the only way home is via outrigger canoe. At age 14 Farja Man has an enormous responsibility of transporting weekly essentials to his village. by: rachelrobertson Views[722] While exploring the sleepy town of Haines, Alaska, I came across this abandoned canoe on the front porch of what used to be a house for enlisted men stationed at Fort William H. Seward. by: pdolan1 Views[329] I canoed out to the wooden bridge near the guesthouse in the early morning. At ~400m this is said to be the longest hand-built wooden bridge in the world. by: jfernandes Views[410] P Guesthouse - this is the guesthouse in which the tour group stayed for two nights while exploring Sangkhlaburi.
