I will be moving a 38' trawler from Galveston, TX to the Kentucky Lakes Region via Mobile and the Tombigbee Waterway. Our eventual destination is Lake Superior. The first time period will be 16 days over the Christmas Holidays. I have the Quimby Cruising Guide. I have never made this trip and would appreciate any advise and recommendations for making this trip. What river maps from the Army Corps of Engineers do I need? Does anyone know what river flow to expect this time of year, I am dealing with an 8 knot boat and only 10 hours of daylight? Can the ICW between Galveston and Mobile Bay, or portions be run at night or should this be a daylight only trip. Any and all advice is appreciated. Frank in Minnesota.
