Let’s talk TRASH! We are concerned about where to put all the trash that will accumulate for three-plus weeks when we cross the Atlantic. We have a few solutions....Anything organic goes overboard. Any major packaging of food and/or supplies is thrown away before we leave the marina (for example, cereal boxes). Plastic bottles are smashed and crushed to take up less room in the garbage. Diaper Genie for the head. AND, we just came up with this brilliant idea.... We use these 8L jugs of water to constantly refill just a couple of smaller reusable bottles for drinking. This eliminates the large number of bulky bottle trash on board. Then we use the empty 8L jugs for paper trash. A lot can be stuffed in there and it can be sealed! Much better, much more compact, and less smelly than trash bags. Brilliant, right? Cap’n Jack approves! Can you give us any other tips for what to do with all the trash on board while crossing the Atlantic? #crossingtheatlantic #sailingwithdogs #sailinglife #trashonboard #voyagesmagazine #sailorsandseadogs #sailingtips #bluewatersailing #womenwhosail #sailingistruth #livingonboardtips #beaglesofinstagram #lifeisanadventure #sailorsandseadogs #sailingseefalke #sailingadvice #cruisingtips (at Marina de Mindelo) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BtOcqQfhhTj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ckxgxj1iduix
