Jim spent today scrubbing the boat on hands and knees. After finishing everything but the cockpit he informs me that she is at least 3 times larger than our old boat...and he's not even done yet. I went to do laundry and apparently that was a good idea for everyone today as the laundry room was quite busy...and that is saying something for a little room with 3 washers and 3 dryers. I managed to get one, so spent about 3 hours doing my 4 loads of laundry - only 2 of which I needed a dryer for. The other loads I hauled back to the boat...wet , and hung them on my new clothes line...which makes us look a little like the Clampetts..but - hey...it is what it is. A special thank you to the backseaters for the DryFit clothing tip...I spend my day in the gear, sooo comfortable - and it is almost a waste of time to hang the stuff up, as it is dry before I finish clipping the row.

As silly as it sounds, laundry here is a bit of a social event with all the ladies hanging out and chatting and talking while we wait for our stuff. You can walk back to your boat in between...BUT - you better time it right because if someone is waiting for a washer - they get a little cranky if you are holding one up..but are not there to clear your stuff.

Tomorrow's plans ...well, more work!
