That can be quite a dicey trip this time of year. We've thought about doing the St Lawrence River loop cruise but after talking to people who have done it, I'm not so sure. We've already done just about everything else on the east coast so that would be an interesting challenge. I really dislike cold rain and fog however. |

Well, you do have a two month window in the summer.... I dreamed of doing the trip when I owned the Sandpiper 565 mini cruising sailboat. The plan was to tow the boat up and ride the St Lawrence River current down with some help from the sails of course. Probably would have been ok until I passed through the Canso Causeway locks and faced the open Atlantic Ocean. |

My wife and I once did a two week cruise on a 24 ft sailboat but we were younger then, and it was all a big first time adventure. Where would we fit the queen sized bunk, microwave oven and flat screen TV? |

If you live on a boat for the length of time he does every year those amenities are nice to have and enjoy. |
