If your mast down vertical clearance is less that 12 feet you should investigate taking the Erie canal. It would save you a lot of miles and nasty St. Lawrence Seaway currents.

Of course the downside it lowering and raising the mast.

From Lake Erie to Quebec City, the nasty current is with you, if you're going the right way :-)
