Thanks for the good wishes and the suggestions.

Our trip will be about 4,000 miles along the Eastern U.S. coastal and
inland waterways and canals in parts of Canada. Our speed averages 7
miles per hour, depending on winds and currents. We will cover from 20 to
90 miles a day between stops. Even if you use the metric units, you can
see that we are slow and almost always close to someplace.


You are doing part of one of my lifetime dreams in reverse. My goal (the
really big, probably unattainable one) was to buy a boat, Preferably a
Hatteras. And take it down the inland waterway on the east coast, down and
across Panama and up to the Alaska inland waters.

But I was a child when I dreamed this one up and it included my Dad who
loves the ocean and his cousin who is really great with boats. They have
both been gone for a while now.
