s/v Louise Michel headed south

[bladedancer]

After a rambunctious, two month, final shakedown cruise, part alone, up to Buzzards Bay, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, the Ariel is back in Brooklyn getting ready for the trip south.

Planning to leave mid september, with my partner Madeline, linger a while in the Chesapeake then down the ICW with my son Daniel.  Then across to the Bahamas - Abacos, then Exumas. Haven't done this before so I'm pretty excited.

If all goes well, I will 'hang a right'  when I get to the Turks and Caicos and head west through the windward passage.

Does anyone have any information about having a boat trucked across Panama, or Costa Rica, even Mexico, as an alternative to going through the canal.
