That was lovely, thanks! I'm looking at my canoe in the snow and considering a paddle today though the current is strong from all the snow-melt.comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6946936Sun, 05 Mar 2017 09:11:55 -0800saucysaultBy: Pembquist

Apparently there is a part of the human brain that "lights up" when you see animals, this makes sense as animals fascinate. I have long wondered if the same thing attends the rivers lakes and seas. I feel drawn to boats and ships, to being on the water in a way that feels biologically based.comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6947012Sun, 05 Mar 2017 10:24:17 -0800PembquistBy: HuronBob

Wow... thanks for that... a beautiful and well made film.
I've paddled since I was a kid. I'm closing on 69 now and still have a 20 year old Stockton canoe (hand built by Brett Stockton, multiple year winner of the Ausable Canoe Race) and two Kayaks, all of them getting used every summer.
This film identified many of the reasons I still love being on the water and prefer a paddle to any other means of propulsion.
I'm fortunate to live along the Huron River in lower Michigan. The Huron, if you follow the right branch westward, comes to within a few miles of a small branch of the Grand River. My lake, Portage Lake, is the turn off from the Huron to eventually reach that short portage which allowed early settlers and explorers to make the journey from Detroit to Chicago without traversing the Great Lakes. The feeling of going up this small stream and knowing it has been followed for all these years is sometimes breathtaking.
Spring is just around the corner, time to clean the leaves off the boats and rig the fishing pole...comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6947100Sun, 05 Mar 2017 12:05:52 -0800HuronBobBy: Happy Dave

I loved this film and wanted to make it an FPP in its own right (especially because of the wonderful diversity of viewpoints all united by their love of paddling), but this film maker has also made a couple of lovely films with Ray Mears, the British wilderness guide, that are also canoe-heavy and worth watching - <a href="https://vimeo.com/120156522">We Belong to It</a> and <a href="https://vimeo.com/151953195">The Path of Grey Owl</a>.
I haven't canoed in many years, but as you say <strong>HuronBob</strong>, spring is just around the corner...comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6947116Sun, 05 Mar 2017 12:25:17 -0800Happy DaveBy: saucysault

Pembquist, a study did find <a href="http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/3516918">living by the ocean</a> to be beneficial, as well as that age-old prescription to "go to the sea" when in ill physical/mental health.comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6947167Sun, 05 Mar 2017 13:18:03 -0800saucysaultBy: anadem

What a lot of fun. The video has more slowmo than I like, but the scenery is lovely.
I'm jealous because the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/anadem/17189140197/">little canoe</a> I built just doesn't quite work for me - from not knowing how to shape the hull it's very tippy, and though my daughter can use it fine my c.g. is too high so it throws me out; the next one will be flatter and fatter. There aren't many nice places here for paddling but this will be an impetus to make a new boat.comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6947521Sun, 05 Mar 2017 21:52:03 -0800anademBy: greenhornet

But think how much faster he could go with an outboard motor!

I went to elementary school with Goh for a few years. He's had just gotten his hands on a camcorder and tried to make every single class project into a video. I switched schools and then later ran into him when i worked at the sailing school next to the canoe school he worked at. Spent all day on the water trying not to let our campers crash into each other, and evenings partying. Canoeing and filmmaking have been passions of his for a long time.comment:www.metafilter.com,2017:site.165451-6948630Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:05:52 -0800captaincrouton
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet. He then unclasped the belt of his waist, and having his head uncovered, knelt down, and holding up both his hands.
