It should be a wonderful trip, Tom. . You will remember it for the rest of your life. I think the Erie Canal is still free, which is amazing. That costs NYS a ton. I did it down to FLA with a slip neighbor in the fall or 2000 on a big powerboat, loads of fun. I made the mistake of letting the owner know I could cook, and ended up cooking breakfasts the rest of the way down, which actually turned out not to be a curse. We had food MY way, The Stove was right up on the bridge, so I could cook and watch the world go by. Then I did it again in 2018 upbound from Annapolis. That was also a wonderful trip, but it would have been more enjoyable as a passenger, as I spent a lot of time fretting about groundings, which turned out to be not unfounded. My good buddy Dave, who is even more anal than me, took copious notes, and put them on his blog, if you are interested. It is in Wordpress, which is a little convoluted to read, but might hold some interesting info/Data and be helpful.. We didn't sail, I took the spar out before the trip, and had it trucked up, cheap insurance and made the trip a hell of a lot easier. If you do not have a lot of overhang, it may not be too bad. I always hated just the short trip from the lift well to my slip with the spar laying down. I once caught the top of the spar on the sling cables backing out with my 39 in a crosswind, and almost ripped the mast off the boat.
