SailorMitch will become famous soon enough
Agree with Dawg and some of the others that you have a chocked filled float plan with little room for error. What if things happen (not that that EVER happens on a long cruise of course) and you have to add 2-3 days at the end because of weather or gear issues? Disaster for some of your colleagues or not?

BTW -- I've made the first part of this trip from Rock Creek to Cape May (then we headed south to Norfolk for a circumnavigation of the Delmarva). First day to Chesapeake City, second day to Cape May. Then 36 hours to Norfolk. Great trip, but I had to do it in 8 days and next time I'd like to take at least 14 to linger on the trip north up the bay.
