I had a live aboard sail boat that I sailed in the Caribbean for six months at a time. I would Head south for the winter. Often friends would fly down and stay on board for a week or so. I never tried to persuade anyone into shedding there Clothing. I Believe its a personal choice however without exception before the end of there stay everyone did. There were several friends that I had believed were far too uptight to ever considered doing such a thing. One lady in particular come to mind. You could have knocked me over with a feather when she ask me if it would be ok for her to sunbathe on the for deck. I now Believe its an unspoken fact of nature that sun and blue sea water will cause anyone to become a nudist.
Were you nude most of the time?
"I now Believe its an unspoken fact of nature that sun and blue sea water will cause anyone to become a nudist."
I can imagine it:
Guest arrives on board. Sees a list of names on the wall of the cabin, with a time duration against each one.
Guest: What's that for?
Wooden-Pirate (adds guest's name to list): Oh, you'll see...
Guest (later): This is so idealic! Do you mind if I, er, sunbathe nude?
Wooden-Pirate (adds time against guest's name on the list): No, that's quite okay.
:-D
Every day thats nice and sunny, Once past the channel, the clothes are tossed into the cabin and I only cover up if a boat comes real close with kids on board . Always keep a pair of binoculars at hand to see who maybe coming too close.
Do you wear just shorts or a swimsuit when you need to wear something on the boat?
