Car Rentals Italy - Laundry Alternatives For Your Boat - Do You Wonderwash?
The day to day domestic chores still have to get done, it would be nice to think that living on a boat only meant the more important things like do I need to re-stain the wood yet or will the anchor hold if the wind blows up tonight but no. Ya gotta do laundry, whether you live on a boat or on land.
Even if you have to dinghy in with all your "material" possessions, the only problem with this plan is that it requires docking facilities of some sort within walking distance. With a little luck you'll be able to peruse the Internet at the same time - who could ask for more? Thank you ma'am and you're done in an hour and a half, bam, wham, throw in three loads, there's the obvious - hit the Laundromat.
Who could really tell - or care, but on a fish boat, i suppose it worked? . . I do recall a friend of mine telling me many years ago that her husband and his buddies working on a fishboat would drag their fishy smelling jeans behind the boat to clean them somewhat. The only problem with this choice is that fresh water is a precious commodity on any boat and coffee making will always come first. The guys may not find this quite so important. Another choice would be to hand wash everything on board as and when needed - not bad for underwear and delicates so a great choice for the ladies - personally I can survive everything as long as I have clean panties on a daily basis.
Hang everything to dry in the environmentally responsible way and you won't even break the rhythm of your margaritas while you're doing it. You can't do that with hand washing! Or every possible piece of underwear that you could accumulate in a three-week time period for two people, it washes up to three pairs of jeans at a time, hot or cold, for a small amount of totally justifiable water. I finally found a more efficient choice for on board laundry when I purchased my portable washing machine aptly named the Wonder Wash.
. . Pick your tool and get it over with. So those are your laundry alternatives - dealing with laundry and boating is one of those certainties like death and taxes no matter where you live.
