OK, so I was surfing info on the Bahamas and found this alternative chartered vacation idea for those so inclined.

I'm inclined to find out which anchorages they are in and break out the telescope.

Not necessarily!!!

Dave, you could offer:
"They served us delicious, sexy food and drink, they took us to beautiful, sexy places and planned fun, sexy activities."

...on the Long Island Sound, and charge $5000 a week.

It would pay for marina fees for your boat.

Then again, we could all offer the same thing! The Great Lakes are sexy, the Gulf Coast is sexy, and by gosh, the West Coast is sexy, too! I think the whole country is sexy. Who needs the caribbean?

Very Pricey! Whats stopping you from chartering elsewhere with a non nude charter and going nude? If you want even cheaper, go nude on your own boat.
Hey, that's brings up a new topic, How many have gone sailing nude on your own boat? I will be the first to admit I have.

Yeah, wait a minute - this opens up all kinds of new business opps for us. For 5k I might even be able to convince my wife to "play" along... Nude sailing is cool, just make sure nothing important gets caught in the sheets! I mandate that inexperienced female crew (who are friends of my wife) must crew topless... there have been some takers!

It doesn't sound like such a good deal to me. In most cities you can get a hooker for a whole lot less than $4950., and you won't have to pay cruising taxes. If the hooker turns out to be an undercover cop, you'll also get 3 squares and a bunk for 3-10 days. (At least, that's what I've heard.)

Last time I was in Miami Beach, I rented a kayak to putter around Biscayne Bay down at the Miami public beach called Haulover Beach.

I was quite surprised to find out the following about it:

1. they have one of the oldest public nude beaches in North America (Black's Beach in San Diego is older)

2. according to one of the non-nude folks at the launch, there's a little chunk of rock and sand out in the bay aptly called Temptation Island that regularly hosts a bunch of boat swingers (or is that swing boaters?) called the Vita Bella Boat Club or something along these lines.

Just so happened I was a week early, rats!

. . . but just to deflate the imagination, the fellow also mentioned the following: the beacher-goers and boaters were not necessarily "winning any beauty contests", nor were many of them spring chickens!

Perhaps one's imagination is better than real life ! ? ! ?
