At 23, Kyle Parker paddled all 682km of the Wisconsin River in a blur of muscle fatigue and no sleep. Coming in at 5 days, 19 hours, and 22 minutes, he set the fastest known time for the route in a solo canoe.
Parker wants to take his time for his new project, which will begin in just under a month.
“Today, we travel by all sorts of modes, often opting for the easiest and fastest we can find,” he writes on his blog. “I am looking forward to slowing down to just a few miles an hour and really getting under the skin of the country.”
The U.S. from ‘tip to tip’
Parker’s big dream is to traverse the country from northwestern Washington to southeastern Florida. He expects the trip to take six to eight months. More More

I have two Kayaks, one is a run of the mill 16ft. plastic mould which anyone is allowed to take and bang about in.
The other is a carbon fibre 18ft. which you need permission.
Since turning 70 i have decided to cancel the permission requirement on the 18.
Let the kids have fun.

“Don’t they teach this historic first in skool anymore?”
Nah! Teaching English Class starts in college (or, thereabouts) nowadays. Too busy teaching “his”, “hers”, “they” “them”, etc.. Otherwise, assume that Puget made a lot of sounds, until then.
