Facts and Figures Living on a boat.

in sailing •  6 years ago 

We inherited a little portable washing machine thing ... but it only does a few things at a time and uses a lot of water. I am used to doing our 'smalls' by hand because I found the marina machines soon wrecked my nice lacy underwear. Out in the Med of course we are wearing less and less clothes as the days get hotter. I don't mind a weekly wash. I also wash pillow cases etc in my hair washing water, I will make every excuse possible not to use a laundrette. Here in Greece our clothes and sheets dry in no time.

I haven't yet tried the real sailors wash method of dragging your clothes behind you in a net bag as you sail along. I am looking forward to trying that .... but only heavy duty jeans etc of course!

Oh. I also haven't tried that. Think I've heard of that. I can't imagine the clothes will feel quite fresh after such a salt-water rinse followed by drying.

no .... more like cardboard, I expect. I will try it with the dog towels first I think.
