Danny, Congrats! You still have a couple months of great sailing ahead of you. Hope you have a great trip!
For planning you can use activecaptain or download the NOAA charts and OpenCPN. There must be a book for the Cape and the Islands. Maybe David knows of it? If you make it to Nantucket the Lobster Trap will deliver to your mooring - Meals on Keels!
