As I mentioned a few days ago, I washed a few bucket-loads of laundry on the boat and hung the clothes on the lifelines to dry. I used a clothes spinner to spin the clothes as dry as possible before hanging them on the lifelines. I had heard another cruiser rave about her clothes spinner a few a years ago. She said the clothes were practically dry when they came out of the spinner. I toyed with the idea of purchasing one since then but held back when I thought of all of the precious room it would take up. This year George assured me we could make room, so we bought one and put it on board.
Clothes, towels, and a sheet drying on the lifelines and jib sheet. The winter things are now all washed and stowed.
The clothes spinner in the shower. Water drains out the bottom and down the shower drain. When not in use it lives in the “garage,” our storage area.
When I used the spinner a few days ago I was amazing by how many clothes it could spin and also how much water was removed, making the time to dry clothes much shorter. I am officially a fan.
We have spent the past two days anchored behind Levi Island, near Governor’s Harbour, hiding from strong NNW winds. We have stayed onboard and worked on chores and plan to move further S tomorrow.

Whatever makes chores quicker and easier, I say go for it!
