I was going to put these under sailing in the buff. But, I think my incidents fall under a slightly different catagory

[color=blue]Many moons ago, my wife and sailed up an all-but-deserted lake to visit a friend, my wife’s supervisor at her cottage.

We had a few glasses of wine and headed home. It was Indian Summer. The colors were amazing and the lake was deserted - it was October and mid-week.
The lake is pretty big, about 4 miles across. The wind was gentle and warm, the sun was setting beautifully and, in the middle of the lake, the solitude and wine got to our heads a little. Well, nature took it’s course, and we knew that, at this distance people were mere specks on the water. What could be the harm in a little romp? :wink:

The next day, when my wife got to her office, her supervisor said to her– “um, you know, EVERYBODY on the lake has binocularsâ€

Have you ever dragged yourself in the water behind your boat? If the wind is just right you can lock up the main and jib and float behind by hanging onto the tiller extension. It’s a beautiful thing. You can even steer by shifting your weight back and forth. If you have never done this, you really should try it.

However, be sure that your bathing suit is tied on tightly.

The lesson, from experience:

[color=blue]I was enjoying a “dragâ€

I use to give rides on H16's and then getaways all summer long..about 15 trips a day, 6 people per trip, 7 days a week. I always sailed behind the boat, thus I mastered the art of catching my bottoms, bend on leg up 90 degrees and they should stop at the knee..oh yea I always got better tips when they stayed on!

Nice story. Did you tell the supervisor that was a preview to the adult films you made, and that the films were better quality than the view through the binoculars?
