Owning a boat creates all sorts of compromises. Some are obvious and some are discrete. As far as young ladies are concerned (depending on the tint of my sunglasses) I figure that, if you are a skinny mini, then if you show skin you’re in. There seems to be such a finite time span to flaunt it so why not? Alternately, I admit I get a twinge of respect when observing a finely tuned wet suit. I don’t think there’s a need to apologise for my orientation or appreciation. But there does come a time in one’s life when it is a courtesy to wear age appropriate clothing. Me in a wet suit would look like the Ghost Buster’s Stay Puff character in leotards. Ok, not that bad but I discretely use the ‘sun smart’ explanation. So, do any of you have objections when all those twenty-something’s or the over 50’s are on board?

This is a picture of what I look like all summer > Actually, all the time.
God love them one and all. Age apropriate or not I very much appreciate a great frame emphasized in either a skimpy bikini , quality buisness garb or an elegant silk gown. Now for a little more to the situation I think you are trying to describe . . . do I want to see someone in thier golden years in a Britney outfit? Well, probably not all the time although I have seen some well aged ladies that could pull it off - well.
If its a bad move, at least it gives me an outlet for my often tactless humor . . . . and with my dark glasses I simply shift my attention elsewhere. Plus I have developed almost unbelievable peripheral vision skill . . . I can actually carry on a conversation without looking . . . . ............................. sorry what was I saying?

In my haydays of the Navy, I visited many foriegn ports. My first, I decided to visit a local nude beach. Understand, Hollywood's version of a nude beach contrasts greatly with the reality nude beach. Nowhere in sight were 18-26 year olds asking me to rub sun screen on thier breasts. Instead, it was a very delightful couple from Germany that had been married for about 50 years taking vacation. Let's just say niether the sun, nor gravity had been kind to them.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

Yet they were probably having themselves a fine time. How they looked to you probably never crossed their minds. When we get to that age we should be so lucky to care so little about what others think of our appearance. Enjoy while you've got it because it absolutely will not last.

And yes, Hollywood's presentation of just about ANY location rarely has even a faint resemblance to reality.

I've noticed on other lake websites that feature party pics that there is no shortage of fat old guys with no shame for their frame, and there are plenty of young 'uns apparently unaware that their very compromising pics will be around for infinity.

Many people have neither an honest friend nor a mirror, apparently.

I am really having a hard time picturing what your talking about. Do you have any pictures to help clarify it for me?

See, I don't see a problem at all in this example. I can only see what I want to see in the crowd
Thousand words right? Besides "where did I go wrong" there isn't any words I can post here . . .
I really cannot help you out on either side of this debate, I can agree with all. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to pack my boat up and trailer it down to TX!

Party Cove on Lake Lewisville is like this every weekend of the summer. I have plenty more pics, but this is a family show so....

Ahhhhhhh…..I think Nauti Luv is oriented quite nicely. Party Cove on Lake Lewisville? I’m not that certain the Admiral would want to drag the boat to Texas from BC. What family show? I don’t see no family… post, post, post…

If I had known a swim grid would do all that....
