My girlfriend, Cindy, is doing a laundry series photo project so I was inspired to photograph my diaper laundry. I told her she could come down anytime to photograph it herself! Whenever I hang the diapers outside to dry I think of the time Jim and I spent cruising. We always did our laundry by hand and in the moment it was a fun thing to do but a little bit of a hassle. The first time we did our laundry in Hiva Oa it was a huge load because it was all our sea soaked and skin and harness stained shirts from the passage. We hung everything out to dry on the lifelines completely around the perimeter of the boat. Before we could pull it in it started to rain. So we left it out. It rained and rained and rained. Three days later we had a chance to bring the, finally, dry laundry in and fold it. I have never in all my life seen such bright whites even where the worst possible stains were!
