One of my greatest joys aboard is something so totally NOT circa 1931–it’s our combo washer/dryer. Heaven. Every cruiser has their own priorities…we don’t have a refrigerator aboard, nope, we don’t have a motor on the dingy, nope, but we do have a washer/dryer, yep. I must admit we don’t use the dryer function because it seems wasteful to do so–we hang our laundry to dry.

Since it’s not a high priority for David to make a door to cover the laundry closet, earlier in the year I made a curtain to cover the washer when not in use. I also made curtains to hide the outboard pilot berth above the main saloon settee adjacent the laundry closet. Yea, I can tell guests that the curtain is for their privacy…but really it’s all about my having the ability to stash lots of things behind that curtain!
