Cape Canaveral to Beaufort by 7kt motorsailer is about 60 hrs, Norfolk to NYC (actually Willoughby Bay to Sandy Hook) is only 36hours. Inside Beaufort-Norfolk is about 3 daylight days. Cannot travel much of ICW at night, you will collide with marker posts. Get a printout of the Gulf Stream location, It changes a lot. Suggest that you use weatherman Chris Parker to advise timing. Cheap
Fuel is at Ft Pierce, mile 246 and Norfolk.
