Best East Coast Summer Cruising Grounds

I have some air miles that I need to use up and would like to charter
a boat on the east cost of the United States next summer. I am
looking for a place with wind; more than anything else, I dislike
using the motor to get around. I expect to anchor every night and
don't intend to go on any offshore passages. Cute little ports are
nice if you need to pick up groceries or a little resturaunt food. I
also like anchoring at state parks that have day hikes.

Chesapeake Bay looks promising or Florida may have something to offer
as well but I have little idea about the wind and park situation.

Chesapeake is nice in April or October. Southern New England is more
pleasant in the summer, although prime places can be crowded.

Maine usually has good daytime breezes, but July and August can have a
lot of fog, and the lobster pots seem to bother many who aren't used
to them.

We normally do two weeks in southern New England in late May or early
June, visiting Newport, Block, Cuttyhunk, Vineyard, Nantucket, etc.

Then we go to Maine over Labor Day weekend, and spend a couple of
weeks on the coast.
