[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 276377, member: 4469"] I would think a big canoe would be ideal. Easy to paddle and can hold way more than a kayak, at least the kayaks I have seen. Everything would need to be in waterproof bags and tied down. Forget about the electric motor / solar panel thing, you would not get sufficient charge current to keep the batterys charged and batterys are heavy. I did not read anything about all the camping and cooking gear you would need, don't forget that. You are talking about 500 miles for us yanks and 18 miles avg per day. Should be doable in a canoe. Portages would be a hassle with all that gear and weight by yourself. Hopefully not a river with rapids or dams. Being able to stop in towns and replenish supplies would be a big advantage. A punt is a flat bottom square bowed jon boat, right? Tim [/QUOTE]
