Letting Others Know You Are Naked

Return to Discussions

I am curious how you let other boaters know you are naked without putting yourself at risk of being reported. Due to my employment I cannot risk being caught by people who would be offended and report it. On the other hand, I would like to let other boaters who enjoy being naked it is OK to pull up near our boat while in the buff. I have hung swimsuits on the side to "dry", but I have not had luck with others recognizing that. I have tried doing a casual get in or out of the boat so they can just get a glimpse of me, but that borders on the risky. Just curious as we there are a few beaches that we frequent that are quiet enough that it would be nice to have like minded boaters join.

My approach is pretty passive. Once I am clear of a marina/boat ramp, I get naked. If I am in tight waters like a canal or narrow river, I keep a life jacket ready to put over my lap, but in wide open water, I don't. If someone comes close enough to see I am naked, then they see what they see. They didn't need to get that close, so they have invaded my privacy. So far, the only comments I have had when someone does get "too" close have been positive (like I wish I could do that, etc.)

We fly a nudist flag. Never had a problem.

I sail and once say a mile from shore, never bother to cover up when a boat passes by unless there are kids aboard. Most people wave and smile and some yell looking good captain. A few will come up and sail side by side and chat.
