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!
