One of the concerning things for me is that all of out grey water is going to run straight into the ocean where our fishy friends live so 've really been focusing on finding next level natural alternatives to household products. A friend told me about soap nuts which are natural soaping nuts which can be used to wash your clothes!! They are incredibly cheap and 100% natural and they actually clean your clothes its amazing!! As a cleaning product for floors, windows, bathroom Exerything.. ill be using vinegar. yeah thats right plain old vinegar that you put on your hot chips.. when we lived in Exmouth i did a bit of cleaning for a fancy hotel and they used it to clean ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! If its good enough for them, its good enough for me! It works better than ajax, spray and wipe.. all of those bad boys without the bad nasty stuff!
Ive changed my shampoo, conditioner, soaps, face wash, deodorant and moisturiser to a more natural product and look forward to eventually making my own products further down the track.
If you have any fish friendly alternatives, let us know :)
Marleys not missing out, his ezy dog life jacket rocked up in the post today. Check him out he's all ready for some island hopping salty adventures!
We have purchased a new Tender to fang around in as the old one was buckled from the sun. We bought it second hand on Gumtree and will be picking it up in Brisbane on the way through. Its a 2.6m RIB inflatable Riviera with an alloy hull. Hopefully our little Suzuki 6 outboard gets the bad boy up on a plane! We havn't named it yet but I'm sure it will get a name.. the captain names everything.
Captain bought himself a spray jacket.. after telling me over and over again i couldn't get one. Im banning him from wearing it at night because theres no way I'm gonna see him bobbing around in his beautiful black jacket.
We bought other few little nick nacks like a first aid kit, cards against humanity, new socket set ..ohh yeah .. and lots and lots of bikinis .. all on sale of course, a girl can never have enough bikinis … :)
With a bit of luck the bus sells this week and we are out of here! Fingers crossed until then.
First Mate Bon signing off xx
