Spring cleaning upholstery

Today was the final laundering of upholstery. There were three long cushions, a 10', and two 8' lengths that wouldn't fit into the marina machines. Instead we took them up to a commercial laundry in town where we were able to get all three into one super load.
How dreary to be writing about something as mundane as laundry. I think it illustrates that our drop out lifestyle isn't all cold beers on the beach and snorkelling trips, in between, and most notably in NZ, we've been doing essential maintenance while we're in port with 24 hour electric supply and access to suppliers and facilities.
Our Easter treat was to access one of those onshore facilities and access a Ruby Murray, or curry with Anne and Mike from Callisto. We even got dressed up and wore proper shoes for the evening. Poor David got a blister it's been so long since he wore real shoes.
