Best business in the islands...a laundromat. All the best.

An old trick is to get 2x5 gallon buckets with lids. When you’re underway, or motoring, you can put the soap and the clothes in one bucket with water and the vibration will agitation will wash them. You then can switch them to a freshwater bucket to rinse. It works when you’re anchored as well, but just takes a bit longer. 😅 it’s also free.

I should never complain about doing laundry after seeing your effort.

This is why I installed a washing machine, and water maker in my Catalina 42. I do a load whenever the hell I want

I've lived on my boat 5 years now currently docked in Ventura county Cali and about to leave for Washington state once done servicing the boat. Love this life 😁👍

Getting laundry done on dry land is hard enough! But you, you, have so much more to overcome. Big admiration from this RVer.

Girl get a boat with a washer dryer on it or put one on your current boat. Our houseboat has a 120 Volt stackable washer dryer. You can only wash or dry not both at the same time but it works perfectly. I wash 1 load, hang it to dry and start another load washing to save time. For a smaller sailboat or cruiser you could get a washer dryer combo unit that washes and dries! They even have portable washer dryers that are even smaller than the combo units. You can run it off solar panels especially if you hang them to dry. Then there is no need to load up in your dinghy and run to shore. Saves time as I wash ours as we are driving the boat down the lake or river.

The best and easiest way to do laundry is to do it every day, hang it on the boat at night, next morning it is dry. Have less clothes, live minimalistic.

I cannot believe how strong a person you are mentally and physically most men couldn't do what you do daily I don't mean the laundry my hats of to you cheers 🥂

I'm 53 , retired and heading towards the RV life , but what you're doing is definitely stepping up the game. 💯 Wishing you safe marine travels. 👊

The Staniel Cay laundromat was always our favorite. Get your laundry done and stock up on beer at the same time!

Great short video. Good to learn more about your less know events that are needed to maintain you and your boat. Looks like you picked a popular laundry day.🤣😉😊

Love boat life! It’s definitely appreciated when you can do laundry aboard

You are blessed what a great life

Need to install the washer/dryer combo on the boat…… it’s amazing to do your own stuff at sea

I miss living on my boat ,and the beauty of it all.. out on anchor in half moon bay ( the storms though. Not so much

We love Lauren never forgot this memory you vedio always remember you did Great job

@Lauren, we use in the summer this tiny wasmachine and dryer: Mestic MWD-120 Cheap, small, handy and works very well! It’s an Dutch product.. maby something for on your boat?

Love your car. Must be one of those Sporty models lol.

I think this video shows how much you need to learn about something you really want to do (sailing alone), apart from those that show you the boat maintenance. So many little setbacks. But I think it is also good because it shows you all the small things behind the big picture.

Beautiful smile!!

Ok, but, did anyone else love that perfectly delicate jump down to the dingy?? Also especially while filming lol

I would think one of those foot pedal laundry spin washers would be easy and portable. wonderwash looks cool, it's improved handcrank design though, not foot pedal. there's also washing detergent sheets now that are even lower weight, look like paper, you can divide them up to be sealed off so in the event water gets on detergent you don't ruin all of it. divide up dry powder anyways though, can also use less... I find it easier to stay on top of laundry little by little rather than doing it all at once and leaving garments to be stinky and sweat stained for days on days or weeks.

Siempre voy a envidiar la sonrisa con la que encaras la vida en un velero, sigue así, eso nos lo contagias a nosotros . 👍👍👍😘😘😘

We used to throw our mesh laundry bag in the prop wash of the Navy cruiser I was on for about 20 minutes at 20 knots. Rinse in fresh water and dry. Far better than any washing machine.

I love how you are always smiling and i love how you do you and dont apologize for it

Awesome. Luv it.

Looks like a cool life!!! I built my own pontoon boat once…big plastic barrels sealed and glued together then a pallet tied atop. Sank on its maiden voyage but I was proud

Gosh you are so lucky to have such a beautiful boat and be so happy and find such fabulous adventure. Keep living the dream and maybe we might collide on our travels. Big Love from Oli in Brittany France ❤

Your so Talented and Lucky to be living my dream ! 😊😊😊❤❤❤

I’ve been a livaboard for 25 years. Fortunately I do have a washer dryer on my boat but like living anywhere you do what needs to be done. I have zero desire to move back into a house. When I’m inside I don’t even think about being in a boat rather than on land. I have most all comforts and truthfully it’s much cheaper than living on land. We have quite a few people living on their boats. Many more only during the warm months. Absolutely some of the best people you could ever know. Unlike living on land where if you live in a high end neighborhood everyone work corporate level or highly skilled jobs and the lower income people live across town and you will probably never meet them and certainly not be in the same social group. On the water everyone had one thing in common. Boats and the love of being on the water so all those other things don’t separate you.

Wow! I grew up sailing on Lake Superior with my folks (partners withe three other owners). I loved it, it was my escape in my teen years. I like your mentality! Be safe out there- keep the boat between the buoys:)

Girl... I found that I need a much smaller wardrobe and saved a lot of money having a washing machine. We have a spot in 10 Acre super shaded spot outside of Tampa Bay. We built onto our RV a large screened in porch where we hang everything out to dry. You need to get a washer. It would make your life so much easier and more comfortable.

When we sailed full time we bought a mini washing machine and a separate spin drier. They ran via a 150 watt investor. Best investment.

Love you “car” and your home too😉. Freakin’ awesome❤️

I love this. Never would have thought you have to wait that long.

My mom at age 70 would walk up to 5 miles to take their laundry into town OR to find a butcher when out on the lamb. Her only complaint was that the captain (my dad) would ask for help on the teak when she returned.

Hey Lauren, one of my recent finds was a collapsible washing machine. Mine is about 5 gallons. It's not ideal for getting all my laundry done, but works for some of the daily needs. Keep sailing! #happiestonthewater

I never comment on shorts but you've got to be the coolest I've seen yet thank you for being you

Just started watching your blog….brilliant, just love the kitten, we need to see more of him or her Us brits are crazy about pets

i only wore shorts and t-shirts when i was cruising . just put them in a net and drag them behind the boat for a few hrs. . rinse with fresh water and presto , sparkling clean .

How you need to do it is get a onion bag large (google Australian onion bag orange) and fill it to 3/4 full and then you have to tie it off across open end making rope weave from one side to the other and tie it to the back of your sailboat. When you want to do some washing then you have to throw it in the ocean but you don’t put any detergent and you have to slow down so the bag doesn’t rip apart or off your boat. This will take anything that could be dirty or smelly. I did this with my pants that I would wear while baiting up 5000 hooks and then gut a dress the tuna swordfish that we were catching on the long line boat I was on. They would have 12-24 hours of all types of fish and blood and we would let the bags tow along for about 30 minutes and they wouldn’t have any on them and just a really faint smell so I would have a bucket with some clothes detergent and water in a bucket and I would dunk a piece of clothing in at a time and make sure it was wet pull it out and ring it in my hands. This would save me $200-$250 a month from taking my clothes to the laundry mat and using machines that people could have put anything in them. It’s like when you get in a shower when you get the soap you wash your face first then work your way down but the last area that soap touches is your bottom and then it goes back to the soap holder. So what if someone had been in and had a shower 2 minutes before you get in 🤢 Hopefully this makes sense and you have a thick plastic bag that has rectangle shaped cut all over it for water to flow through and this method works for you and saves you money

A bucket, a hand-washing plank and a brush have worked for every grandma in the caribbean for over 200 years too.

Have you considered one of those tiny manual machines? For small things like bathing suits, tanks, and undies, they’d be great. Off grid people use them and people in tiny houses.

Whatever makes people Happy. It's not the life for me, but this is what makes the World go Around 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You could always put your laundry in a net bag and drag it behind your dinghy for ten minutes.😊 All the best. Rab

You can buy manual washing machines that come in a collapsible bucket. Used for camping etc. Would think that would be a better option.

You should try the crank Landry ball likely could do Landry while sailing and the waves action will wash the clothes it's tiny but in A pinch might be worth it. Idk 🤷‍♀️ yeah that's insane wait js. Aloha from Maui

Very instructional. I'll remember that. Getting a boat in the spring. April ish. Retiring. Up the east coast from the cape of Florida to Halifax. Then Galway. Suggestions?

Pretty much how I do laundry. Except tide doesn’t affect my parking spot. Usually:)

Such a positive energy.

Ooh! Love Staniel Cay! One of our favorite places we have been on our cat ❤

My 9 to 5 is looking even grimmer now Thanks 😊

Like your energy 🎉

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SWEETHEART!@@🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Looks laboriously fun and awesome

That water is beautiful

It’s all amazing ! I’m a merchant seafarer, but this is too interesting !

Wery nice 👌 Eanjoy your butiful weekend Teker your self 💕

“Island life” says it all! 😁👏

I don't know how people do it man. I tried boat living on the hook and it was not for me. that is a lot of extra work and I am a guy that likes creature comforts. hats off to all you boat dwellers ......it's a tough life but what servers and bartenders are forced to do

Rocking the cut offs Lauren!!!😎👍

"Shoes are over-rated." 😂✨️👍🏻✨️

I would recommend a washer /dryer mini unit at this time it will fit in a 24”x 24” compartment .

I thought that was Staniel Cay, even before the sign. Love that place!🤙🏼💖

I lived on an Irwin 34 for 5 years. Now I have a C&C 38 on the hard that I'm bringing back to life. I'll be moving aboard after I het the mast stepped and get the boat back in the wet.

Thanks for sharing. That would be a cool way of life, living on a boat.

I recommend you keep the phone on a lanyard around your neck seeing as you are around water all the time. Dropped mine in water a few times.

Have you tried laundry sheets? They take up less space than pods, just like a pad of paper.

“I don’t wear shoes because shoes are overrated” - and just like that I’m in love !! #SubscribedAndFollowing 🥰🙏

You are a tough one! Bravo!

Lauren just want to say u r brill ❤

shore call lol nice ! mad respect 🙏

Laundry sheets work great too and much smaller.

I am one of your new subscribers… you’re amazing! Your Dad must be so proud. 😊

WOW you are gorgeous God bless you and those that you love.

I had an idea for you put your laundry and some detergent in a large bag an empty plastic bottle and weight the bag fill it full of sweet water, then have it dangle from a line so it goes in and out of the water like a teabag. Let’s do that for a few hours and then rinse it out and you should be good to go. Hopefully you got a water maker. Or do the wash part coming in then rinse at the dock

Nothing like the high field for a car lol nice dinghy!!! If your ever on the east coast ,look me up at mccotters marina ,washington,N.C

Ur just amazing, I wish I could do this....at least for a week

And I thought you were going to say you trawled it behind your yacht in a net bag... hoping some big gamefish doesn't swallow your best kit! 😮 😊

Strong Lauren Hutton vibes ❤

So pretty!!! 😘

*I think I'm in love.*

Подпишусь , не жалко! Милая девчонка! Не побывать мне там , так посмотреть хоть на красоты!Правда не верится что она одна управляется!😊😊Мечта!

А поближе нельзя подплыть на яхте к берегу. Чтобы не так далеко плыть на. Надувной лодки.

Always looking good Lauren!

I’d miss the dingy and my gigantic laundry bag would sink and I’d spend way too long trying to get it into the dingy all soaking wet and way heavier than I meant it to be. But cool dry detergent pods.

I live in a service flat with 69 other apartments and only one washing and drying machine, so i do my laundry at night when nobody is awake cool and smart.

You're bare foot? Me too. I've been doing it for 3 years now.. i have back problems and barefeet make me feel sooooo much better.

I'm glad you found yur spot.

I know your taxed for space but those drag behind rolling doughnuts are great if you had room.

You should look into something called laundry detergent sheets. They are amazing and super light

I envy your life. Your boat is awesome btw. A friend mine Paul from San Diego had a very similar boat. Wondering if you bought yours from him.

In the early days of being a trawler man we washed with a deck scrub and washing up liquid yak lol

Stay safe pretty lady 😍😍. Thank you for your video 📸📸📸📸🙂❤❤

Rough life but somebody got to live it.❤❤❤❤

Sailed for 40 years...we would use the mos eco-friendly method...put all your clothes in a laundry or cargo net and drag behind the boat for several hours....the heavy oxygenated constantly turning saltwater made from the wake of the boat does an amazing job...after acoupke hours hall in and hang dry in the sun which the UV rays kill all germs

I once saw a video, living on a boat is more expensive that paying for an apartment rent.

I have a luxurious life.. just put the laundry in the washing machine whenever I want!

Tough life. But she is super cute
