Canadian Yachting October 2022 - 28

April 6 Making Tracks - In canoe-speak, tracking isn't exactly
what springs to mind if one is indeed making tracks.
Tracking implies walking upstream dragging the canoe
behind, dragging being the operative word. I am reduced
to ping-ponging between river banks as the current is
generally too strong to paddle against. I can make some
progress stapled to the bank out of the stronger currents
less than a boat length from the bank. It is progress but
brutal work and painfully slow. When all else fails, we
make tracks.
April 7 Where Rubber Meets The Road - Meet Karta, my
trusty two-wheel steed. This contraption is what I'm using
to pull/drag/yank the canoe behind me as I walk most
of the roughly 600 kilometres of portaging I must do.
I've made some modifications to the thing to support the
weight of the loaded canoe. It also collapses into a heap
and fits into a smallish bag. Sadly, it weighs 20 pounds,
not including the fancy harness.
April 10 Sunshine Valley To Cayuse Flats - Left. Right. Left.
Right. Head down, feet forward. Just keeping moving one
step at a time. Count to 100. Repeat. Wind. Snow. Sleet.
Repeat. 24 kilometres up and down. But mostly up for
24 kilometres. Left. Right. Left. Right. .
April 17 Legacy - Embedded in the concrete at Yellow
Lake, the summit of the pass between the Similkameen
and Okanagan valleys, this innocuous bronze marker is a
survey monument. This, and the thousands upon thousands
scattered across all of Canada are, in fact, part and
parcel of David Thompson's legacy. Thompson is arguably
the greatest land surveyor that ever lived. His cartographic
legacy is a very close second.
