Sounds like a great tour. I left ME about Labor Day one year and had to
sail in between the storms the locals call noreasters. I suggest you
don't linger but get below Cape Cod in a reasonably short time. Those
storms were nasty.

Yes. We once stayed in Bar Harbor, Maine until after Labor Day
weekend. It was a chilly ride back down the coast but no big
nor'easters fortunately. We did have one in late September however as
we were going south from NY to Cape May, NJ. We could see the waves
breaking on the beaches from 3 miles offshore and spent the day
surfing down 10 to 12 footers. It was blowing so hard in NY harbor
that morning that the coast guard shadowed us fo a while, probably
thinking we were crazy and headed for disaster.
