Entering the Intracoastal Waterway Ataraxia will take us all the way to the great lakes after crossing the great lakes we will start the descent of the Mississippi river to end our journey in the Gulf of Mexico.  Hereby demonstrating that Ataraxia is an ideal vessel not only to cross the oceans but also to sail on inland waterways.
