Re: New life, new adventures... moved aboard

Aloha and welcome aboard!
Good to have you here. Irons and ironing boards are made for those who are prejudiced against wrinkles. At my age and where I live wrinkles don't matter.
kind regards,

Re: New life, new adventures... moved aboard

OK, I'll admit to ironing some items over the years that I've lived aboard. Afterall, for thirty of the thirty-nine years my wife and I have been living aboard, we had jobs. Sometimes weddings, funerals, special events...., but we never had an ironing board, just a small iron tucked away. A thick terrycloth towel, better slightly damp, layed out on a table makes a fine ironing board.

A small travel iron is an essential part of my boat gear.... just coz I'm low budget don't mean I'm a slob....

I'm with you, but things are best when my iron doesn't come out more than once a year!
