I'd suggest trucking it to either the Gulf or the Great Lakes. The inland
rivers are not a good place for a sailboat, unless it's an unconventional
design. You'll save a lot of time and it won't cost much more than delivering
the boat on her own bottom via the rivers & locks; another point is that
trucking the wear & tear on the boat plus the risk of damage is much less.
