Looked at your schedule in detail.  We have done all parts of the trip you
have planned in less time than you have allotted.  The one area where the
schedule is tight is the September return from the Great Lakes to the
Chesapeake.  That is certainly doable, your weakness will be the NJ coast in
mid to late September.

In lieu of a return trip on the Trent Severn you have the option of going
down Lake Huron, east across Lake Erie and then the Western Erie.  Don't
recall whether you can get down to 15 feet air draft.  We were able to do
the Western Erie in our Krogen 42.  Trent Severn one way, the Lakes and
Western Erie the other way.
