Sailing from Panama to Tahiti

“Today is laundry day. We wash clothes by scrubbing them in a bucket, dragging them behind the boat to rinse, and then hanging them up to dry before rinsing with fresh water. It’s going to take even longer today because everyone needs to wash bedding, especially Jan, who left his hatch open last night. A huge wave crashed in and soaked everything in his cabin!” ―Jen Edney
