Greg, the St Lawrence River loop/Down East Circle you describe under
"trip reports" is on my short list of trips I'd like to do with our
trawler. Maybe next year.

Have you considered stopping at Saint Pierre and Miquelon?

I'm actually hoping to make it to St. Pierre (we have our FR flag), but I'm
not betting on it. I try to take a conservative approach in the planning
and hope for good weather, no boat problems, etc. I must admit that
getting to Miquelon sounds a bit tenuous:

"The island of Miquelon is separated from St. Pierre by a 6 km (4 mi)
strait with very fierce currents. Fishermen call this section of ocean "The
Mouth of Hell". The waters around these islands are very treacherous, and
there have been over 600 shipwrecks along the coasts of the islands."

and I doubt that I'd try it without the perfect weather window.
