For sure, the weather would be different!
Larry Zeitlin, in his post
http://lists.samurai.com/pipermail/trawler-world-list/2002-July/049379.html
provided these thoughts and distances:
<<We can follow the path of
the Vikings in reverse and plot legs well within the cruising range of a
standard Willard 30. Perhaps even enjoy most of the trip. One possibility is
to take the ICW up the east coast, jump over the Bay of Fundy to Nova Scotia
and from there to Newfoundland. The distance from New York to Halifax is 439
NM. From Halifax to St. Johns, NF another 460 NM. Once in Newfoundland there
are several possibilities. A good strategy would be to work up the coast from
St. Johns to the fishing village of Hopedale, 525 miles north. From there it
is only 575 miles to Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Better yet, you can go
from Hopeland to one of several small fishing villages at the southern tip of
Greenland and still travel less than 600 NM. The longest stint is from
Greenland's tip to Reykjavik, Iceland, a distance of 650 NM. From there it is
a mere 585 NM to the Scottish coast. Thus an Atlantic crossing can be made
with all legs shorter than Willie's trip to Bermuda.>>
The Willie in the quote is the Willard 30 that wen't
Chesapeake-Bermuda-Chesapeake last year.
