This is one of the trips I want to do. I'm going to try Lewiston Id to Astoria first though.

Along the way are a number of choices in route. Buzz started out in Demopolis, Alabama and is currently in Panama City, FL, on the Gulf coast. He has a web page here: http://greatloop.thedalamar.com/ which includes a link to Google Maps and details of his route. As you can see, he is not sailing (I expect there aren't enough opportunities to sail to make having the extra gear aboard worthwhile). Instead, he has two 2-hp Hondas mounted.
