Micro-description: You go out on a ship and watch for whales to swim by. Description: A naturist (a.k.a. nudist, though they prefer the former term) group in Massachusetts sponsored a clothing-optional (a.k.a. nude, but see above) whale watch from Cape Cod sometime last June. Basically, it's a day at sea with a stop in Provincetown(?) to see the Blessing of the Fleet and then the rest of the day looking for whales. (Only the part outside the three-mile limit is clothing-optional.) Unfortunately the weather was bad, the seas choppy, and most people seasick. (Just thought I'd warn you how bad it might be.) We didn't go, because we heard about it from a friend too late. I hope to hear earlier so that we can make plans. > But do you mean the watch with nude whales, or nude whale-watchers? The whale-watchers may or may not be nude (it's clothing *optional*); the whales will be. (It's a cultural thing with them, I guess. :-) ) Evelyn C.
