It's just under 65 miles from Chesapeake City to Cape May. Hitting the current right is critical if I want to get there in under 12 hours. I've found that a confluence of favorable wind and current is as common as sightings of the Jersey Devil. If worse comes to worse, I can duck into Cohansey Cove for a break. 12 - 14 hour trips are no problem as long as I'm not crashing into 6 foot square chop not too uncommon on the DelBay with opposing forces. But, you're absolutely right about the canal route being the way to go.
