Great story that really shows the freedom aspect.

Ah, New Zealand... to wait out the approaching cataclysm, maybe Stewart. Better than Tasmania, perhaps. Not sure.

I think it was (strangely) Walter Cronkite who turned me on to Patrick O'Brian (a successful writing career being one that lends itself perfectly to that lifestyle).

Yes, I used to buy all the boating and yacht magazines. There were often very tanned and attractive kids in the photos.

Sadly, I can't say a peep about personal experiences, but I appreciate yours and all the people you know about. It's always been a fascinating topic for me.

I've heard of lots of nudist stuff, especially when out on the open waters in tropical places. Clothing just seems to be an unnecessary hindrance, and I may have seen some very nice visual proof of this at some points in my life:)

Ah, well. It's definitely a dream for any GL to explore should they either win the lottery or inherit from a rich uncle, or in the unlikely event they were able to make some massive coin on their own.

Yeah, I posted about that girl here. I was pretty impressed she went through the legal process to make her dream a reality. A girl like that is something special.
