Vikings i think
sorry im wrong its Polynesians
The canoe in Hawaiian: wa'a and Tahitian and Samoan: va'a. The smaller canoes have an outrigger on the port side; larger canoes may have a single or double outrigger; then there is the double hulled catamaran for larger loads.Word source: My grandfather, Hawaii born.
Apart from travelling by foot, canoes or 'Waka' were the primary form of transport. New Zealand is a mountainous country and before European arrival was covered in dense bush which made other forms of transport unsuitable. However the extensive river systems here enable large distances to be covered by canoe. We used large double-hulled ocean-going canoes to travel enormous distances across the pacific Ocean. Also, before the arrival of Europeans, there were no draft animals or other native land mammals in New Zealand; apart from some small bats (pekapeka).
The people of Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, are believed to have arrived around 1200 CE, most likely from other Polynesian islands. They navigated vast distances across the Pacific Ocean using advanced double-hulled canoes, guided by stars, ocean currents, and bird behaviors. Genetic and linguistic evidence supports their origins from the Marquesas or Society Islands. Upon arrival, they established a unique culture, known for the iconic moai statues.
from an ancient Roman measurement meaning one thousand double paces, one step with each foot (about 4860 feet)
Canoeing and kayaking are both water sports that involve paddling a small boat, but they have some key differences. Canoes are typically open on top and paddled with a single-bladed paddle, while kayaks are closed on top and paddled with a double-bladed paddle. Canoes are usually larger and offer more space for gear or passengers, while kayaks are more maneuverable and often faster.
Polynesian colonization was driven by factors like overpopulation in ancestral islands, search for new resources, and social or political conflicts. Long voyages were accomplished using advanced navigation techniques such as reading stars and currents, studying bird migration patterns, and using traditional knowledge passed down through generations. They also utilized double-hulled canoes equipped with sails, allowing them to cover vast distances across the Pacific Ocean.
The first people known to sail were likely the ancient Egyptians, who began using wooden ships on the Nile River around 3000 BCE. However, seafaring cultures such as the Polynesians and the Phoenicians also made significant contributions to early sailing, with the Polynesians navigating vast ocean distances in double-hulled canoes and the Phoenicians establishing trade routes across the Mediterranean. These early sailors utilized wind power for transportation and trade, laying the groundwork for future maritime exploration.
Using a double rider bike for cycling offers benefits such as increased stability, improved teamwork and communication skills, and the ability to share the workload, making it easier to pedal for longer distances.
Kayaking involves sitting in a closed cockpit and using a double-bladed paddle, while canoeing involves sitting on a raised seat and using a single-bladed paddle. Kayaks are typically more maneuverable and faster, while canoes offer more space for gear and passengers.
Misor and Alcor are a famous double star system located in the Big Dipper constellation. They are actually two separate stars that appear close together in the night sky, and have been used historically as a visual test for eyesight.

Motorola cell phone batteries historically have had a mediocre lifespan, at best. Whilethe Motorola W755 battery life is claimed to be around 3.6 hours, it does come with a life extender for approximately $49.99, which will double the runtime.
