I highly recommend cruising down the New England coast on your way south.
When we visited Nova Scotia several years ago we went from Halifax to Lunenburg (a day trip), then Shelburne, thence around Blonde Rock to Rockland Maine. The Penobscott Bay area varies from lovely to stunning. We then moved south with a stop in Portland ME to enjoy their waterfront pub crawl (a day or two, the anchorage at Fish Point is a bit rolly), then to our favorite sailor's town, Gloucester MA, for several weeks. We also do our annual haulout for the bottom scrub and paint in Gloucester at Rose's Marine right across from the Crow's Nest bar. We love this town and have made many friends there. We leave Gloucester soon after the Schooner Races (spectacular tall ships racing) on Labor Day weekend for the Chesapeake. We usually catch the Annapolis Sailboat Show and "do" the Chesapeake until the end of October when we head for our winter digs in Florida. We visit NYC on the northbound and stay at the 79th Street Boat Basin on the Hudson. The mooring there is a bit uncomfortable what with exposure and a few wakes from tour boats, and the City is such a high energy place for us old folks, so we usually move on after three or four days. We did go as far up Fundy as Bar Harbor (very touristy) once and enjoyed the SouthWest harbor area twice. All-in-all, we have found Maine and her people delightful.
