I was wondering if the Skipper Bob's Cruising From Chicago to Mobile
would be useful.


With the whole middle of America flooded and water pouring down the
Mississippi towards New Orleans, it probably won't help much:

This is a massive flood. I'm not sure going down the mid-America rivers
is such a good idea under these conditions. That river's going to
roiling and swollen for months! Check around the net's news services
about it. It's a very serious, unusually bad flood!
