Souds good! I think I may need to find a boat as well. I don't think the Zephyr will be very fast for that, but you never know.

Try to find either an Old Town Penobscot or a Wenonah Sundowner. The Penobscot is pretty popular for downriver. Most folks like the 16 for solo & the 17 for tandem. I think the Sundowner is a hair faster, but you don't see as many of those.
