If I recall my days of sailing between Annapolis/Rock Hall and the Jersey shore correctly, Annapolis to the C&D canal is a longish 12 hours. Lay up in the basin on the south side of the C&D in Chesapeake City. Catch the eastbound current to get blown out into the Delaware south of Wilmington and lay over in Cape May after a 10-12 hour trip. Then up the Jersey shore and out to Montauk would be an overnight.
Takes a lot of miles and a couple of nights at sea off vs. the trip around the Delmarva Peninsula.

Down the Chesapeake and up outside LI from Norfolk. Added up to just over 500 miles iirc. If I decide to make the trip, I'll keep an outside route as a contingency if the weather holds. I have an autopilot but I haven't seen friends go on sale on Defender. With my winning personality, that might be the only way I could get one. As it stands right now, I'm on vacation from 9/2 - 9/19. Plenty of time. Rick Bushie Anchovy, 1971, 30-1 Tolchester, MD
