movin, if you decide to do this, you should look at the marine weather forecast before you set out. Environment Canada issues one specifically for the Bras d'Or Lakes, which you can find here. Just click on the purple dot in the middle of Cape Breton:

Note that the wind speed is in knots, not kilometres per hour.
I've sailed on the lakes in a 30-foot sloop a couple of times. As Tanya mentions, it can get rough.
