Canoes can be said to be everywhere in the world.

The birthplace of rowing can also be found in many parts of the world, from Bolivia to Mongolia and from New Zealand to North America.

Ancient canoes have been found in the Ganges Valley of India and the Nile Valley of ancient Egypt, and on the banks of the Euphrates River in ancient Babylon, the tomb of an Arab king has been excavated, including a small silver canoe and an oar, estimated to be 6,000 years old.

The Indians of North America used deerbark and birch bark, the Egyptians used paper sand and straw, and the Borneans used wood and other materials to build rowboats.

A 117-metre-long Maori rowboat on display in New Zealand can carry more than 80 people.

In North America, canoes were even more common at the time, and the locals discovered the Bonesian Islands in the Pacific Ocean with canoes with outboard brackets. Nowadays, the local people still widely use this type of boat.

Even the Inuit in the Arctic Circle have their own canoes.

They assembled a boat-shaped skeleton out of driftwood and whalebone, covered with seal skin and stitched together with gut and blubber.

The thin, slender, impermeable waterproof cover is designed to protect people from waves, rain, snow and cold.

The best canoes are perfectly used to hunt down mammals, waterfowl and reindeer in the sea, and are fairly quiet to use.

THIS TYPE OF RAFT IS CALLED "KAYAK", WHICH IS AN ESKIMO WORD MEANING "HUMAN SHIP".

Even in modern times, canoe enthusiasts still build traditional Eskimo canoes, but instead of seal skin, they use synthetic fabric.

In the Melanesian islands of the South Pacific, there is even a special rite of passage for the people of the islands, and all the teenagers of the tribe must go out to sea alone in a canoe to catch a shark with their bare hands in order to become a true Melanesian man.

"So, crossing Nemo Point in a canoe is not impossible, and there is even great hope."

Bi Fang held a torch and roasted it until the palm trees were held.

He coated the parts that were not going to be dug up with wet mud, then grilled the parts that were not coated with mud over a fire, and then cut them with tools after they were coke-like, so that the loose coke layer was quickly removed.

After repeating this many times, it can be formed into a more ideal shape.

Today is the third day, and the first palm tree that has been made can even show the rudiments of a canoe.

Around him, there have been a lot of onlookers.

There was even an interesting thing that happened in the middle of this, after cutting down the palm trees on the first day, the manager of the adventure resort invited him to stay and opened a most luxurious suite, and he was a little puzzled, why he was so enthusiastic, and when he turned around, he saw that the managers of several other hotels also ran over.

All of them claim that whenever Bi Fang goes to their side to make a canoe, they will be given VIP cards and stay for free.

As soon as you agree, someone will come and drag the two trees away.

The manager of the adventure resort was anxious, but fortunately Bi Fang did not agree.

cut down other people's trees, and then went to other people's places to build canoes, Bi Fang was a little reluctant to go, so he could only refuse politely.

In the evening, Bi Fang barbecued meat in front of the bonfire, sprinkled with the free gift of the resort, and distributed it to everyone, which was a small bonfire party.

It's just that there is no prey on the island at all, only the nearby ocean is more abundant in fish, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so the meat is also sent by the resort.

It has to be said that Easter Island deserves to be a tourist attraction, and it is no wonder that so many people spend a lot of money and fly thousands of miles for several days to come here.

There is no lighting on the island except for the small town, and it is located in the depths of the South Pacific Ocean, so the starry sky is very magnificent, and Bi Fang even saw nearly a hundred stars in the constellation Orion!

[Beautiful, I used to have a wallpaper on my computer screen that was a statue of a god on Easter Island, but I didn't expect the real scene to be more beautiful]

[It's a pity that there is no money] [Plus 1]

[It's okay, everyone crowdfunding for me, I'll travel for everyone, and I'll send you a few photos (dog head) when the time comes]

During the day, it was not bad, and Bi Fang was not all in the canoe, but drove the sandmobile around several times.

There are several nice sandy beaches on the island, with white sand, coconut shadow and blue water, and there are hillside stone statues standing quietly not far away.

And because Easter Island is isolated in the South Pacific Ocean, it is blessed with excellent diving conditions.

There is no pollution on the island, there is little plankton at sea, and the underwater visibility is ridiculously good, even reaching an astonishing 60 meters.

On the fifth day, the first canoe is about to take shape, and it looks almost completely different from the original trees.

Bi Fang crouched down, his fingers gently sliding over the hull, feeling if there was any unevenness.

"The palm tree is very special, its shell fiber layer is very hard, but the material inside is relatively loose, even if you don't use the fire method, normal iron can be scraped clean."

"It's just that the fire roasting removes the internal moisture on the one hand, and after eliminating the need for drying, it can also make the hull harder, waterproof and lighter."

"Wait a minute, you have to bake it again until the hull is all blackened, and then it's done."

After confirming the tightness, Bi Fang erected the hull, ran into the woods with an axe, cut down a tree, divided it into several sections, and stretched the hull apart to prevent it from being tanned and deformed.

Then put the palm leaves in it and set it on fire thoroughly.

"The amount of fuel is empirically determined, to make sure that the palm leaves are all burned without igniting the hull of the ship, and that the tanning process can be completed."

The small boat was not large, with a length of just over four meters and less than five meters.

"It's hard to handle a boat that's too long, and it's easy to roll over in a storm, but it's just over four meters long."

To explain briefly, the flame was also quickly extinguished.

Now the canoe is much lighter, and Bi Fang can drag it alone, knocking the hull with his knuckles, making a hard sound.

"The sound sounds good, I just don't know what will happen when I get in the water."

To test the quality of a ship, after all, it depends on whether it can be launched and what the carrying capacity is.

Covered with rolling logs, Bi Fang dragged the canoe back to the beach little by little, and many tourists who got the news all put down their work and felt that the coast was lively.

Dragged the hull to the shore, looked at the rolling waves, wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, took a deep breath, and pushed the hull under the nervous gaze of everyone, getting closer to the sea a little bit.

The sand is deformed by the advance of the hull, and the sand spreads to the sides under the squeezing, leaving a long trail.

The mood of everyone became more and more nervous, and they couldn't help but clench their fists. [It's coming, the big one is coming] [It's really big now]

[In, in, in!] [Got in so big?]

The bow of the ship first touches the seawater, followed by the hull and stern, which float little by little on the surface of the sea under the buoyancy of the seawater.

Bi Fang breathed a long sigh of relief. All the best. Enthusiastic cheers erupted from the shore.
