Wish I had the patience for that kind of trip.

A lot depends on what is happening along the way. We'd get impatient
if lock openings were delayed, same with bridge openings but that is
less of an issue on the canals - big problem in FL however.

The rest of it depends on the terrain and getting in the right
mindset. Some parts are a lot more interesting than others. We were
talking to people last week who had done the southern half of the
great loop. They found the Tombigbee Waterway down through Tennessee
and Alabama to be boring, mostly due to lack of interesting scenery.
