Yesterday I trimmed up some palms, trimmed up a couple of trees and bushes. Laid out in the sun for a couple of hours. I worked on re-organizing a couple of our storage sheds and made a pile of stuff to put out on the curb for free.
Planned shore excursions for the rest of the cruise, read news on line, checked email and social media. Going to put on my tan through swimsuit and head to pool now.If you have stops in Greece, go to Cap'n Barefoot to check out nude beaches at your port.
Thanks for the link. I'd had it once before but when I got a new computer, sometime back, I forgot about it.
We always have a plan to be nude in every town, city, state and country we visit. Even if it's just for a short time. If we were in some country for the first time, we always take 2-3 hours to find nude beaches or resorts to visit. If they are centrally located, we'll book a stay and use it as a base. I've always wanted to visit Greece, but I think we'd do a cruise, get a feel for where we'd like to go back and spend more time. I also drive naked in every town, city, state and country we visit. It's just a "things I/we did naked, " kinda list.

Going to put on my tan through swimsuit and head to pool now.If you have stops in Greece, go to Cap'n Barefoot to check out nude beaches at your port.I already have plans for Crete and Rhodes and it sounds like Mykonos is no longer a good place to be nude.Besides, I have a clothing optional beach that is a 90 minute drive from home, so when I am thousands of miles away, I would rather do different things.The last cruise I took was on a Norwegian megaship with 2 adult only sundecks with hot tubs. I suggested that one should be clothing optional, but didn't get a reply.
We've been on two cruises with adults only, clothing optional decks, one Carnival and one Royal Caribbean. We went up to scope them out and thought we'd go up and sunbath a couple of times during the cruise but never did. Each time we went up, there was a parade of clothed people passing through the entire day. It got so bad that a few people built a wall of lounge chairs to block them from being gawked at all day.
We'd heard people at the lunch buffet talking about it and how they thought it was wrong. We couldn't take it anymore and said, "there are signs before you climb the stairs, there are signs at the top of the stairs. If you didn't want to see that, why did you go up there?" We got a lot of dumb answers that made no sense. Some people are just dumb.
It's one of the big reasons we get a balcony stateroom. I don't mind paying the extra to be able to be naked when I need to and be outside while doing so. We also asked, on subsequent cruises, where the clothing optional deck was. Both cruise lines said, "we stopped having those because of complaints from some of the passengers."
We went to Elia Beach in Mykonos and had no problems being nude at the far end of the beach. We even booked it as a ship's shore excursion. They warned us that at the end of the beach we may see nudity, which is exactly where we immediately headed. There was a French couple already nude, so we joined in. Eventually others from our ship wandered to the far end of the beach. Some of them even got nude. It would suck if they don't allow it any more.
In Rhodes we took a water taxi to the Faliraki public beach and thought we could walk to the nude beach. It was way too far, so we never made it. If you change your plans, take a taxi directly to the Faliraki Nude Beach and skip the public beach altogether.
I barked at some road construction workers!
The city is having some road work done on the street adjacent to our house. They park their tractor at our back wall and are working on the street on our south side wall. Each day, at quitting time, they all seem to gather around the trailer that the tractor is loaded onto. The tractor makes a huge amount of noise, but we can live with that.
Today, like every day for the past two weeks, these guys now yell at each other over the tractor noise as it's being loaded. Not only is it annoying, but they seem to have to drop F bombs 6 times in a sentence. We don't have kids here but there are kids in very close proximity and these guys are using the F word as a verb, adverb, noun, adjective and interjection. I'm not sure if these guys know any of this grammar they're using it.
Look, I'm veteran sailor and a 32 yr veteran of the fire department. Cursing an an hourly, daily function BUT we knew when it wasn't appropriate to use it and when to cool it. The fact that these guys had to yell it at each other so that I could clearly hear it over the tractor being loaded on the trailer was enough for me.
I got up from the couch where I was texting a friend. We're home, we're naked. I could go slip on shorts but I didn't. I walk out to the backyard, hop up on a short wall we use for the seating around the fire ring and yell, "HEY". The tractor idles down so you can hear yourself think. I motion the guys over and tell them to drop their voices if they are going to curse or take it somewhere else. I explain and point to the houses where there are kids, and you can hear the kids playing in the backyards. Maybe the kids hear, maybe they don't but people cuss today for absolutely no reason.
Anyway, I'm certain they were more weirded out that I was shirtless and probably nude. haha

I have a friend who had a friend with the same language pattern. He was reasonably proficient at soccer so he offered to coach his son's team. He didn't watch what words he was using so he didn't last long.

Let us know if it worked over the intermediate term.
