GL: Bridge height Clarence, Chicago to Mobile Bay

[LKYusnret2 at aol.com]

Baums Rush is now in Muskegon MI just outside of Harbor Town. We started  the 
Loop in Jacksonville FL and have tried to sail as much as possible. Baums  
Rush is a 26 ft Hunter 260. The wife and I can un step the mast in about 40 min  
and step the mast in about 55 min on the water. According to Skipper Bob  
books we should leave the mast down from Chicago to Mobile Bay but I think  this 
general statement was for a sailboat that has to have help un-stepping the  
mast. I believe that a distance of say 200 miles of clear skies would be enough  
for me to step and un-step the mast. Do any of you know a distance of 200 
miles  on the trip down that would be clear for my 42 ft mast. I would appreciate 
 specifics, from where to where and the bridges involved or for that matter 
any  comments.
