It’s a three clothespin kind of day with these Meltemi winds!

Laundry is very hit or miss in Greece. I found a reasonable place in Pylos that would wash but not dry for 10 euro a load (a little expensive but not bad). Monemvasia, our next stop charges 3 euro per kilo, so I won’t be doing laundry there. We have to wait till Napflio (where there are self service machines) to do everything.

How do I know? The NoForeignLand app is crowdsourced and it rates everything about anchorages, marinas, clearing in procedures, restaurants, services, and shows me exactly where I’ll be able to do laundry along the way.

Luckily I have plenty of sheets and towels on board, and we both live out of swimsuits and dresses or shorts, so it’s just underwear I do by hand every few days and hang to dry. And fellow cruisers are pretty much used to laundry hanging out to dry on any boat they pass by…
