Jessica I can't really speak as to when the best time to travel the St. Lawrence but probably later in June or early July. The water was cold although we were never in it. The issue with the cold water and three warm bodies inside is the condensation created inside the boat. Most days were sunny with temperatures typically between 10 - 15 C. Only once were we storm stayed and that was at Mont St. Louis (3days). From Tadoussac to Rimouski we had the wind behind us probably 25+kts, waves 8-10 ft., tide running and we hit 13.5 kts over the ground. We couldn't have survived without our full enclosure. Friends left Brighton the first of August and they wore their survival suits most of the time.
