Naked Boating
Legality varies by country, state, county, etc. Here in Florida simple nudity without lewd behavior is not illegal, but in 4 Florida counties it is (Brevard, Seminole, Hernando, and I think Nassau counties).
I am ALWAYS naked on my boats once I am 100 yds or so from the marina or boat ramp. If I am on a narrow waterway where boats must pass in close proximity, I keep a towel or breechcloth handy so no "innocent bystanders" have to see me naked in close quarters.
On open water, I just stay naked even if someone approaches me - if they approach me, they have entered my space - they have to choose to do so. I have had the Florida Marine Patrol stop me for safety checks, had the coast guard ask me if I had seen an overdue boat, and had the rangers in the Everglades National Park stop me to see if I had a camping permit a couple of times. NEVER did any of these officials even mention my nudity (though they probably joked about it back at the office).

Here on the W. Coast of Florida there is no problem with boating au naturel. I have a more diminutive boat in the form of a 16-foot sea kayak. In the Tampa Bay area there are plenty of not-so-public places wherea boater or kayaker can be nude for hours at a time. The marine patrol basically has a hands-off policy. I've been approached by them more than once and all they wanted to check was whether I had the required safety equipment aboard. The fact that I was totally nude was not even addressed.
Ok I know this is not quite like being Naked at Home but I was wondering how many of you have gone Boating Naked and how far off shore do you have to be so that your not breaking any laws
My wife and I recently sold our boat, and my biggest regret is not spending enough time out naked on it. We used to take it out a couple miles into green bay and sun and swim nude. There were always boats coming and going, although none ever came too close. We figured that if we couldn't really tell how they were dressed (or not), it stood to reason that they couldn't see us any better. Unless they used binoculars... and then that's their problem if they were offended. In Wisconsin, there are many municipal rules against nudity, but no state law. That's why Mazo beach thrives as a clothing optional beach... It's on state property.
Once I retire, my goal is to buy a bass boat and travel all over the USA. If I go to a secluded area, I will get naked. A few times, I did see people naked in their boats fishing, male and female. A couple of times, I was on the shore. I just got naked and fished.
Maybe you should start a Naked Bass Fishing Association, and hold tournaments across the country. If contestants are found to be fishing with clothes on, they are disqualified.
