As we found a canoe in good conditions on the shore behind Katiffik, we decided to accept the challenge and paddle along the lake until Canoe Center.

This was our first time on a canoe. We started paddling at around 10:00 and my arms felt immediately exhausted… but Yannick was with me and I felt safe.

Suddenly, the silence surrounding us was interrupted by the strange song of a bird on the lake. It seemed that he was making fun of us and we kept laughing and tried to imitate him.

Only once we reached Canoe Center, Yannick told me how scared he was for the entire stage. I couldn’t help but laugh, since I felt safe only because he seemed comfortable on the canoe.

The hut at Canoe Center was huge, and we decided to win the cold and skinny-dip in the lake. This second stage of the ACT was definitely something to remember.
