I'm just curious why, on a trip like that where there are lots of
canals, locks, etc. that can cause all sorts of delays and problems, you
would say New Jersey is the biggest problem.
======================================

That's easy. The New Jersey coast is open to the North Atlantic the
entire distance and can get very rough at times as you surely know,
particularly in the off seasons. No other part of the trip is even
remotely close to those conditions except perhaps for parts of the
Great Lakes.
