@Crazy Dave Condon , you're lucky. Nothing quite as exciting as seeing something the size of a shopping mall coming down the road towards you. Happens with surprising regularity out here.

Those are not Shopping Malls they are combines... You guys grow lots of Canadian Wheat there on the prairie.
Tho the combines are nearly as big as a shopping mall so it is possible to become confused.

I chose to pull wide load no greater than 12" between 1:30 - 5 a.m. on interstate to be blunt was much safer versus during the day. Hardly any traffic and the few tractor trailers at that time were professionals. Cars not a concern as the hull road higher. In the years I did that I had police say it was safer and never a ticket. I stayed in the right lane at all times pulling at 55 mph. However, I did purchase wide load permits for the states I went thru.
So I was not cheating those states out of their money. It helped

Yeah I had SJ24 that Tanzer 22's going backwards, I ain't doin' the crouch aboard no more!
That Tanzer 25 has standing head room (for me) and ticks all the right boxes - https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/tanzer-25
Perfect cockpit for singlehanding (traveler on bridgedeck), nice big mains'l, rates 180 (better once I lose the diesel) which puts me at the front of Div 4.
Plus it'll fit a smaller slip in the civic marina, affordability critical with big city moorage.
