I've been a nudist/naturist since I was a kid but, back then, I just didn't know what it was called. I DID learn early, however, that clothes are compulsory on occasion to get along in life. But I always felt more comfortable and free when I was out of them. So in my childhood, my experience with nudity was limited to my backyard, deserted beaches, sailing, and skinny dipping with my little friends. Then, as an adolescent, mostly either alone or with just a girlfriend. It was not until I became an adult that a former girlfriend introduced me to organized, social nudism, which involves a lot more than simply being nude. It fit perfectly with my personal philosophy and I've been a supporter of nudism ever since.

In a nutshell, I'm here to communicate on the Forums and Groups, and hopefully make some genuine platonic true nudist/naturist friends. I'm neither exhibitionist nor voyeur, absolutely straight, and not here for sex or to gawk at photos. However, I've posted a shot of myself for "Friends" so you can see who you're communicating with, as well as recognize me if we ever meet in person. I lived in Lakeland Fl for over a decade but sold my home there and I'm currently living on the MS Gulf Coast. I hope to get back to FL at some point. But I'm on this site just to meet and communicate with like minded genuine nudists/naturists, of either gender, who's interests beyond naturism are similar to mine.

In the pass time department, the biggies are boats in general, and sailing or paddling in particular. Also, camping, hiking, bike riding, and skinny dipping in either a pool or while relaxing on a beach. Have Hippie Van for travel (2017 version with conversion in progress). Beyond that, I'm a fixer upper and enjoy puttering around my shop. I even enjoy yard work and/or gardening. Funny how naked work just doesn't seem like work. Anyhow, that's an abbreviated list. There's a lot more so just ask.

It varies with my mood. On the other hand, music is great for changing one's mood. I'm good with Classic Rock, Blues, Jazz, Blue Grass, and a few Country songs. I also enjoy Celtic music, and especially if I can find it on the radio on an Interstate trip. Makes the miles fly by.

I tend to sleep through Hollywood blockbusters. Indie films seem to have a better shot at keeping me awake and interested. I enjoy documentaries though. Even the biased ones peppered with misinformation. They make me wonder about the doc maker's agenda but, more importantly, inspire me to research the subject further in attempt to sort out the truth or at least hear the other side of the story.

In the process of whittling it down to a manageable number, although my dad will be at the top of my list. I'll get back to this later.
