I have traveled the turnpike for over thirty years and enjoyed the
scenery and the tow boats. I am sure you know tow boats do not see
small boats very well. So the biggest problem you may have will be the
other traffic.

Just remember that a sail boat under sail does not maneuver as well as a
small motor boat.

I live on the Kanawha River in West Virginia and I'm wondering if a small

majority of my time in my motor boat loafing along at idle or just above.
I'd imagine that a little kicker motor on a sailboat would produce similar
ride, but would I be able to use the sails some of the time?
