Good idea to include a minor detail such as boat speed! It's a trawler
that will cruise at 10 knots, but I like 8 better, and don't plan to run
more than six hours a day.

My catamaran is a tad slower in general, and we usually considered 6
hours a full day, though we could go longer in the canals because
they're stress-free, other than locking. On our last trip from
Baltimore to NYC, did Baltimore-Chesapeake City-Cape May-Atlantic
City-Atlantic Highlands-into Long Island Sound, or 5 days. Coming down
from Toronto was one day crossing the lake, 4 in the canal, one more on
the Hudson to get close to the city, or 6 days. Further along, I can't
help you.

New Jersey is the biggest problem - My advice, since you have the speed,
if you have a good window do in in one day. We made the mistake once
heading south of stopping in Atlantic Highlands to site-see for a day,
and ended up stranded for a week.
