We brought her up from Edgewater MD in 2017 via the Potomac and it is a pretty interesting trip that I'd happily recommend! Still, it is a solid four days if everything goes well. Last time we interrupted the trip due to a couple days of strong thunderstorms. It took five days, not including the week she sat scared and lonely at a strange (but friendly!) marina with little more than a committee of buzzards for company. With work/travel obligations keeping us busy until late October, the shorter days will be a challenge with a 3.5 cruising speed (motoring with hope of some sailing). To the 25's credit, we only managed to average about 4.5 over a week and half on a Bavaria 41 (mostly low winds, but still). This option is very much on the table. We had a feeling this suggestion would come up pretty quick. It's a good one!
