This is the way we do laundry on SV Shawnigan. We already are using a lot less clothes, so our laundry frequency is much less. Now we mostly need to do a load once a week due to Taj’s cloth diapers. Thankfully he’s potty trained during waking hours. Hand washing using the plunger washer is super easy and compact for boats that don’t have much room. The girls even love doing their own laundry, BONUS!

So far we have made it to Cabo San Quintin. Emma is still aboard and we are all loving her company. The six of us have been enjoying Mexico’s waters and beautiful coastline. We have been buddy boating with two other boat since Ensenada. Two Canadian’s, Andrew and Pete. Both full of humor, keep us laughing frequently. Our Friend Casey on SV Chi Mi, out of Sausalito, caught up with ha last night. Now we are a pack of four boats! Fun times.

That’s it for now.

As of today, we will not have our phones that we’ve had for over 10 years. We are dissconnecting our service and will only be reachable by the occasion email and satellite phone text. Don’t worry there are ways to contact us in case of an emergency, but otherwise we will finally be dissconnecting from the everyday rat race. 

We will still be able to post to the blog and Facebook , but again, this will be much more limited. We will most likely do our detailed posts when we arrive in large ports with WiFi. While we are underway, the posts will be much more simplified. 

Here are some photos from our last few days in San Diego. I want to say a special thanks to our new found and old boat friends that spent time with us in SD! SV 4th World, SV Lightspeed, SV Nomi, SV Orca and many others, including Captain Heather Richard for visiting us.
