Last summer we did a 2 week cruise from our home port in south NJ (10 miles south of Atlantic City) to the upper Chesapeake (Rock Hall, Tighlman Island, Cambridge, Annapolis, Solomon's Island, Oxford, St. Michaels etc). Loved that trip and may do it again in 2014. That trip was about 300 miles round trip. With 16 more feet than I had last summer, my wife has been talking about Block Island and Nantucket lately. Can I reasonably make Nantucket with (only) a 2 week vaca from South NJ? I would avoid the straight arrow 250 mile shot over open ocean, preferring to go through NYC and into the Sound, or hug the coasts of NJ and the south shore of LI. Is Nantucket worth the visit, or would I be better served taking my time on the Sound and soaking up all the destinations there? Anyone have any experience from NYC to Nantucket? Is two weeks enough? I've never boated LIS so have no idea what to expect. If I do decide to take the ocean the whole way (hugging NJ and NY coasts) are the south shore of Long Island inlets reliable for ducking into for poor weather?
Thanks in advance. -Jim
