St. Thomas, USVI


This morning, our first priority was to check the weather.  Is today Day 19 or can we escape this place?  Damn, forecasted 30-35 knot winds with 7-8 foot seas.  Day 19 it is then L

What can we do to make today productive?  Hmmm … we haven’t done laundry in a very long time.  Things like sheets, towels and heavier weight clothes, we don’t wash in our little washing machine.  Guess that will be our chore for the day … laundry … yeah!

We loaded all the dirty ‘stuff’ into laundry bags and into the dinghy.  Ashore, we used the dock cart to transport the bags to the local Laundromat. It was near the small Kmart that we’d visited several times.

Not too bad … washers were $2.50 and it was $0.25 for 7 minutes of dry time.  I did laundry when the boat was being hauled out back in Florida and I think it cost more there.  We used 3 washers and about $3.00 to dry.

So … I said I would try to make these write-ups more exciting.  Now how exciting was that story?  I know, you’re saying you can’t wait to experience something like that for yourself … right?
