We ran all the rapids except the two falls and two of the \u201cgr.5\u201d rapids (due to excessive hydraulics caused by the high flow the days we hit them), and we \u201cchicked\u201d another cl.5, making a total of 4 portages and one \u201cchicken-shoot\u201d. But If you read the reports on traditional canoe expeditions on the Moisie, you&#8217;ll realize that much more portages are often listed, varying between 10 and 20\u202614 portages being indicated on our maps between km 271 and the finish.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a canoe map of the Moisie between km 230 and 220, a long section with 14 rapids &#8211; in red the rapids from class 3 or more. 3 long portages are indicated by &#8212;- but 4 others are recommended by red text &#8211; \u201ccanots\u201d carrying out all these indicated portages (a total of 1520 m) should therefore expect a long day to run these 10 km !\u00a0 Thanks to our self-bailing inflatables, we were able to shorten the trip by making a single portage (424 m) and a 30 m \u201csuitcase\u201d: it took us 3 hours for 10 km, including 1.5 h for the 424 m portage, instead of a very long day !<\/p>\n<p>Right photo below: our portage with an empty Baraka weighing just under 20 kg.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-36673 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"310.

But these raft and kayak manufacturers don&#8217;t produce &#8230; CANOES !<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, in Europe, we have two producers of elastomer-coated inflatables &#8211; Gumotex in the Czech Republic, Grabner in Austria &#8211; and each of them produces certain models of kayaks\u00a0 AND CANOES specially designed for serious whitewater, AND quite performant in terms of speed on calm water, by the way some models are operational for long-distance trips or expeditions.<\/p>\n<p>With over 30 years&#8217; experience with Gumotex boats and their indestructible home-made-elastomer-coating -\u201cNITRILON\u201d,\u00a0 we have found these qualities to be at the highest level in the models we have chosen for our expedition, as their specific features meet the same priority criteria, as follows:<\/p>\n<p>SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES OF GUMOTEX BOATS<\/p>\n<p>The photos below show the specific wear and tear that inflatable boats undergo on expeditions: dragging loaded boats (sometimes twice their empty weight) through bush, over cut fir branches and over boulders or granite slabs, would totally abrades and\/or completely destroys, very quickly, any PVC-coated inflatable boat.<\/p>\n<p>No other inflatable fabric coating on the market can beat Gumotex&#8217;s Nitrilon: its formidable \u201cindestructibility\u201d against abrasion and UV rays induces their incredible longevity, proven every day by thousands of families around the world who have been using the same Gumotex boat every season for&#8230; two, sometimes even three&#8230; generations !<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-36673 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-rel=\"iLightbox[postimages]\" data-title=\"312.
