Ping Wilbur WRT FL-ME passage

Wilbur, your recent posts suggest I should seek counsel from you,
being the true conservative I am, as the fount of all wisdom herein.
Thus, here I am. Others may chime in attempting assistance, but, of
course, you are the definitive source...

Early this summer (late June/early July, or so) we'll be going from
the FL-GA border (St. Mary's river) to (somewhere in - we've not yet
put our destination in stone, but likely - the Portland/Cumberland-
Foreside area) ME, in one jump.

While I know that your 6, almost 7, circumnavigations likely didn't
include this particular leg as a part of their routings, I find it
impossible that your vast cruising experience would not have included
at least several trips incorporating this area, whether from Key West
to Nova Scotia, Charleston to Cape Cod, or some other similar segments
from which to draw appropriate experience, from which I might glean
your infinite wisdom.

As I'm quite certain your modus would be superior to anything my
feeble and tragedy-prone planning might produce, I humbly solicit your
suggestions in all regards as to making this non-stop (barring
emergency) passage, in Flying Pig, with Skip and Lydia as crew, in
this time frame, leaving any thoughts on the matter I might have in
silence.

Thanks in advance, I remain, your humble student, aspiring to even
Grasshopper status, let alone practitioner.

PS to another of your posts, we have both an offshore life raft, new,
and 406EPIRB, along with SPOT, IC-M802 SSB, Ham Radio, PactorIII and
other comms aboard, all also new.
