Garrett,
You might be able to run at night in Florida, but I would forget about running
at night when you hit Mobile Bay then heading north on the Tenn-Tom, The Barge
Traffic is 24-7 and in places the Tenn-Tom is narrow. Even in the daytime you
have to be aware of what's coming and going. AIS would be a good thing to
have. I have made this trip up and down the Tenn-Tom several times and would
not attempt running at night only in an emergency. And like the other
gentleman said,  running 80+ miles a day for 3 weeks would have everyone
trying to kill each other, jumping ship. or tossing you overboard.
