Mitch,,, thanks for the info.. after doing some reading, I would do the
canals before the seaway.

Where or who do you contact about the mast stepping and de-stepping? What
is the cost? How much is it to trans the canal?

You can get a pass that allows you to do the whole canal fro not a lot
of $'s. My contact says around 12 days for the canal. Steeping and
unsteeeping - there are boatyards at either end who are expereinced
and fast apparently - don't know the cost.

As it happens I'm going to a talk on Wednesday night by someone who
has used the canals - I'll report what I learn.
