First Skinny Dip

Do you remember your first skinny dip? I do. My memory is crystal clear and like it was just yesterday, instead of the 45 year ago reality!

Mike and I were still newlyweds. We decided to explore an uninhabited section of Lake Michigan on a warm and sunny summer day. The kids were with grandma, so why not?

Like two little kids ourselves, impulsive and uninhibited, we stripped off all our clothes and ran into the water from the sandy shoreline. If you’re from the upper Midwest and familiar with the Great Lakes, you are now saying out loud, “Are you nuts? COLD!”

Yeah, yeah. Maybe it was cold. Don’t really recall the water temp. But I do have perfect clarity and recall of the exhilaration of water on my skin…all of my skin. No wet, cold swimsuit clinging to my body. Just sunshine warming me back up, wholly and completely.

I’m sure I never formulated a sentence or thought at the time using the words “social nudism”. But I’m also sure that the moment began a lifelong quest for just that. Come on out to Avatan and take a dip into our WARM (heated pool) water and see for yourself. You too can enjoy the absolute luxury of a skinny dip in a social nude setting.

 

Warmly,
