Many thanks for all your replies .
The LiFePO batteries certainly do seem to make it feasible if they live up to their reputation. Charging at marinas seem to be too expensive in the UK as they are geared more for long term mooring rather than overnight stops.

I've often thought it would be great to do a leuisurely trip . stopping for a while to explore an area whilst charging batteries from solar panels and then moving on. The problem would seem to be that if charging over say a week or two that the batteries would most of the time be only partly charged . Is this a fast way to kill lead acid batteries or would a slow charge resist sulphation?
