Why twice, are you thinking we would sail back to Western Lake
Superior the same season?

Our hope is to winter on the east coast, this should be possible huh?

You can spend a good, long, enjoyable time just getting down to this
part of the world from up there. If it's an option you might save the
urban tourism for after Labour Day when Canadian schools are back in
and the crowds are thinner. As an added bonus the temperatures are a
little lower.

Toronto and Montreal are both great cities, but neither has great
sailing. The west end of Lake Ontario tends to light winds and
featureless coastline. The east end provides more interest and more
wind on both the north and south shores and the Thousand Islands are
right there.

If it was me, I'd aim to be in Oswego in September on the way to NYC
and points south where the winter will be bearable. Don't even think
of liveaboard in Toronto or Montreal in the winter unless you would
like to liveaboard at home. It was -18C outside my window last night
here in Kingston.
