I agree w BandB.

However getting some extra time off would be golden. But BandB is right .. taking her up north early in 13 days is something like running a barn find car across the states.

I forget what boat we're talking about. April 15 is when the fishing boats head out north but the're hard guys that know the fine art of rafting up every night and waiting weather. They know the route, the weather, their boats and everything. Even the other guys boat. Running together is the norm.

Doing it is easy (usually) w the help of GPS cart plotters, the Hemmingway cruise guide and a little good weather. By the way the weather can be almost like California or raining all the time .. no exageration. But one can make the best time if it does rain all the time if it's not storm'in too. The rain eliminates the sun that creates most of the choppy seas.
