Antoine - I have resisted joining this thread, but I have read the account of
your ambitious and impressive trip.
Would be very interesting in your view of what 'very well prepared' means in
this context.
The tadoussac - la pocatiere area is certainly impressive for its cold and
wind.

As some other as indicated, I did it (twice) on my C&C 30-1 (1973). And I?m
still on the list, even if I don?t intervene much.
2008 Montr?al - Quebec city - Gasp? - Faial (Azores) - Brest (France) - La
Rochelle (France)
2010 Rochefort (France) - Azores - Nova Scotia - Gasp? - Qu?bec (singlehanded
this time)
C&Cs can do it but it need a WELL prepared boat to do it. The boat never scared
me. I hope to do it again before I?m getting too old.
I would be happy to answer any question you might have. And yes, the
St-Lawrence river and gulf can be cold at the beginning of the summer. The
worst part is Tadoussac, where the Saguenay river meets the St-Lawrence.
But I believe Lake Superior is not specially warm either.
Cheers
Antoine
