Hudson River Nude Cruise—An Evening beyond Textiles
by "coptmac"
He said that he would have had no problem taking off his clothes, but he couldn't because he was at work. Sixty of us were naked and thoroughly enjoying the evening on the Hudson River—and he was trapped in textiles. Poor guy, mentally wanting to join us but needing to remain faithful to his employer: the river boat company that was hosting our group for the Juniper Woods Nude Cruise.
In a matter of minutes, our group moved from clothing-appropriateness to naked-appropriateness for this wonderful evening on the cruise boat. Waving at other vessels passing by, we lifted the spirits of those for whom clothing was not optional—our smiles were sincere and their responsive looks evidenced the truth that somewhere, deep down under those clothes, they would like to be with us!
Conversations on the upper deck soon gave way to a display of food that left no one hungry. Refreshments from the bar added to the levity of the evening as we continued to spontaneously introduce ourselves in small groups. These investments truly helped to leave the stress of the week behind—and realize that forward in relationship will lay the foundation for the next week. Somehow, being naked, being real, being anonymous, being known, restores significant health mentally and emotionally, often yielding physical benefits as well!
To further burn necessary calories gained from dinner, the DJs' music moved us to the dance floor—top deck—bouncing, swaying, gyrating, and clapping. It was unmistakable to those viewing from the shoreline and to those kayaking the river that we were having a good time, a REALLY good time!
And then there were those whose evening was spent serving us—piloting the boat, serving our drinks and food, mooring us to shore. The three people whose hands I shook while departing the boat were honestly glad that we had come aboard. Even the poor guy who would have joined our nakedness had he not been on the time clock—well, because of our personal invitation, he and his wife will probably now make a visit to Juniper Woods and experience for themselves what American nude recreation is all about. Perhaps, someday they will become AANR members too!
