Less Travelled

Travels of Jan and Roger Robichaux

Sitting on the Hard

To let all know that we put Traveller on the Hard (out of the water) at Chesapeake Boat Works in Deltaville, VA on August 15th so we could return to Illinois. We put as many things away as possible, took off the jib, secured the main, put the dinghy no the deck and secured it, removed the canvas, and generally removed as much as possible from Traveller in anticipation of severe weather. I did not anticipate a hurricane. Looks like for Dorian Traveller will be okay. I'm checking with the Boat Yard to be sure. Dorian will definitely change our plans, no Bahamas this year. We'll look at the situation of the ICW as we get closer to returning about Nov 1st before making any plans. We'd like to see the Dry Tortugas and the Florida Keys and it may make sense this winter.
