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. |

Where would we fit the queen sized bunk, microwave oven and flat screen TV? |

It was a real battle the last time we went to the Carib for the winter. She was still dragging her heels in December and I explained to her that the boat and I were going and she was welcome to come along. Then I started looking for alternative crew. A guy from one of our social groups and his girl friend were willing, and he thought his sister might be also. Next thing I knew my wife was making a provisioning plan. |
