Three Days of Nudists by the Water, Part 2 - Boating
It's fun to get naked in boats. I know because I've done it.
Today we look at five examples, starting with this friendly young man.
It strikes me just how relaxed and unconcerned they are in front of the camera. But as their publications were legal, there couldn't have been the inherent anxiety that often lurked behind the camera in physique and male-targeted photography.
They do seem relaxed. While the lack of legal concerns probably played a part, most nudist facilities had very strict rules against photographing the unwilling. Thus we have a self selected set of folks who were OK with it.
Johhny's at it again, sailing nude on that boat ! Aunt's Enid, Hagatha and Myrtle are in a snit and livid. They blame Uncle Sugarfoot for being a bad influence. Enid's concerned about what the folks in church will think. (Enid's judgemental as hell and gossips abouts the sins of others, nevermind that her own daughter is the town nympho). Myrtle is afraid the girls at the bridge club will find out. (half of them are alcoholic, the others pop pills) And Hagatha doesn't know how the members of the country club will react. (Hagatha runs their committee and sees to it that the club stays restricted) And Uncle Sugarfoot tells these dragons to watch their fire. -RJ/IE
I still hope I'll get to sail naked one day. Long ago I had a sailing weekend in Portsmouth. Idea was for us to get naked once at sea....way too cold..then a storm..
During the cold-war era, Yugoslavia, Romania and even Bulgaria had nude beaches. A result of the mass tourism industry My uncles wife was from Scotland and said her brother went on a summer vacation in the late 60s to a Bulgarian beach resort for a weekend. It was a package deal, jet flight from Glasgow to Varna, 3 meals a day and two nights stay at a resort hotel all for about 100 dollars. Liquor was extra. -Rj/IE
I can beleive it, they weren't so prudish in the old-days like we think. Those jet trips to Bulgaria in the 60s were quite popular with British tourist because it was such a bargain, even compared to Greece and Spain. -Rj/IE
Lived aboard a sailboat for 5 years.
ReplyDeleteSeveral times had nude guests, off shore.
My foray into nude boating was also in a sailboat. Only the owner and I failed to get seasick.

Sounds like a certain branch of my mother's family.

ReplyDeleteThey used to advertise all male naked sailboat cruises every summer in Turkey, of all places. That was a long time ago.
DeleteI think they still do them. Especially on the Croatian coast.
DeleteGiven the political climate in Turkey, it may have been wise to move.

The Bulgarians had a nude beach tradition going back to before World War I, and I have photos to prove it. Imagine that.
