=:-o)

Your goals are pretty ambitious for a Pungo , tho it's a great boat for what
you plan, poking along the rivers and sloughs.  I can't even begin to guess
what your pace/ mileage should or could be.  If I said I'd be beat after 12
miles in a Pungo ( I would!), you could say Heck I can do that before lunch,
and I'm sure you could.  I can generally get lightly seasoned (just salt and
garlic) paddlers to cover between 10 and 15 miles pretty regularly, tho
we're in longer, narrower boats.

Good luck.
