#kayaking

6 posts6 participants0 posts today

Took the kids to rolling practice last night. Two of them anyway.

The older one just wanted to check that his roll is still good before the season starts.

The younger one seems to be slowly developing an interest in #whitewater #kayaking. She stuck with the first few steps, but did really well on those. Maybe we can finally get her out on some rivers this summer!

For what's almost certainly our last #kayaking outing of what's been one of our best ever seasons, we went to a very special place: Kai Iwi lakes, precious dune lakes north of Dargaville. Kayaking, swimming in the beautiful blue water, picnicking on the white sands. An excellent day out.

This photo was taken a few years ago on an earlier visit, but it's still just as lovely.

We had the most wonderful day #kayaking on Whangaroa Harbour. Despite having been to the Far North several times, we'd never before taken the side road to this lovely place. What a revelation it was! Water calm as a lake, bush-clad slopes, striking rock formations, even some quiet little sandy beaches (we had one to ourselves). Boats here and there, but plenty of room for all.

About to launch:

quixera preguntar a algunha persoa directamente involucrada en #kayaking e #canoeing , para traducir correctamente ao galego nun programa que usa os dous termos de xeito separado, pero leo na wikipedia que

nalgúns paises europeos úsase de xeito indistinto

e para complicar a cousa parece que ao revés que en inglés (polo menos lendo a wikipedia¹ e as definicións no dicionario ² e ³.

indo á federación galega de piragüismo non parecen estar nestas minucias de definir os tipos de deportes

kayaking, en inglés, parece o que aquí chamamos piragüismo. É dicir, vai sentada a persoa coas pernas estricadas e ten un remo con dúas pas.

canoeing, en inglés, parece o tipo de canoa chamado caiac. Que usan un remo simple, que van en postura máis erguida, polo menos competindo. Pretendo usar remo. Que tamén temós Federación Galega de Remo, pero parecen os traiñeiras.

Fun mirar ao dicionario por mirar, porque total…

Grazas.
