From Dean’s Desk
August 22nd, 2007
Barbara and I just returned from Bare Necessities’ Fire & Ice cruise to Alaska. They had to work hard to fill the ship because many nudists were concerned that an Alaskan cruise would offer few opportunities to be nude. While there were no organized nude excursions, on ship it was a different story. The main pool deck has a full glass cover, so it was quite warm and comfortable. Also, we lucked into a run of excellent weather, so the whole trip was a delight.
For a few days prior to the cruise we visited friends who own Lake Associates Recreation Club, a nudist club near Mount Vernon, Washington. In the foothills of the Cascades, the property is beautiful. The facility is well set up for visiting RV’s, and they have a few overnight rentals.
Although many of the nude cruise passengers are not club nudists, many others are. Cypress Cove had forty or more members on the ship, LARC had two dozen, and we met members of other clubs from all across the country. The experience reminded me once again of the big advantage in vacationing with nudists or operating a nude recreation business. That advantage is that nudists are generally friendly, fun loving and comfortable people to be with.
When you visit a non-nude holiday venue you anticipate the facilities and services you expect to enjoy. When you visit a nudist operation you look forward to the old friends you will see and the new friends you will make. First class facilities and services are nice, but people make the difference. Perhaps the reason our just completed Parrothead Weekend was such a huge success is that Jimmy Buffett’s fans are also friendly, fun loving and comfortable to be with. It is a near-perfect match.
We here at Cypress Cove certainly appreciate all of our members, Parrotheads or not. No matter how hard we work to make our facilities and services first rate, we know that what keeps you coming back is the wonderful group of members we have been able to attract. Thanks to you all.
‘Til next time…
