Yesterday was washing day as we were getting short of undies and shirts - it is a hot and humid place where we are. So our Dave decided he did not like the wet things flapping at the end of the boat behind the cockpit (where the breeze is as we are going downwind), so made a cat's cradle up front (where the sails are). Which meant he had to hang them, but no problem after a lesson or two on which way up. However, with the sails out there is no flappy flappy of clothes, so none dried properly. So it was a sad face that said, "I guess they do have to go back here". I did point out that we have not seen a ship for days so no one will notice the washing and think any the less of his boat, but I am sure he is scheming about how to avoid the washing all together or dry it downstairs. May be I will get a washing machine and spin dryer!!!!!!!!! Dream on girl, and keep the hands in the suds. Sigh.
Jolly pleased with ourselves so far as we only had four hours of really light winds yesterday before we had the promised 15-20 knots and a super sail till just after tea time when we slowed a bit bit not too much. Dave was feeling chuffed so cooked an excellent steak, egg and chips he made in the oven. Yummy.
