Welcome Aboard Wannabes Al and Diane Robichaud

Al and Diane Robichaud
Al and Diane Robichaud are very ehtusiastic wannabes.  They attended the 2014 East Coast Rendezvous and are regulars aboard Neptune 37VT35 and Sally W 37VT42.

The Robichauds are cranberry farmers.  They have eight acres that keep them very busy from April until October.  This year's harvest was in late October.  It's grueling work.

Allan and Sally Seymour, Sally W, recently visited the Robichauds, went on a tour of some cranberry farms and took the following pictures.

The plot is flooded, and the berries are released from the low-growing bushes by these beater contraptions. Talk about built-for-purpose.
Cambodian workers travel between farms to do the collection.
Once all the berries are released and floating, they are gathered and sucked up into a chute which fills the truck on the left.
