Rich from where you are you could walk it in less than 30 days, bike in less than 10 days, and drive it in less than 2 days. On Google maps you are less than 2500 miles with an option of 3 routes.

I think unless it were a Moth that you could not check it on the plane. Someone actually did that coming to the US from Australia I believe. I heard that it only cost him an extra $100. Wouldn't it be great if we could all do that with our boats? On that note there is a Moth North American's a bit before ours, August 6-8, at Harbor Springs, MI. The other end of the same Great Lake.
