All naked, all the time.  Yup, a charter sailboat full of eight German guys pulled up beside us at our next anchorage off Koh Dam Khwan on February 21st, and dropped anchor as close as possible so we could see what they were having for lunch.  Lunch wasn't the only thing we could see.  A little bit of naked can be good, and is to be expected on a sailboat in the tropics; but a lot of naked is a little bit unusual - especially eight times a lot of naked.  They stayed that way all day - swimming naked, showering on the stern naked, sharing cocktails naked, eating dinner naked.  They didn't seem to mind Bill snapping photos - even at dusk when the flash went off.  After dark we couldn't see if they were still naked, but we did enjoy their rendition of blues songs sung in German.  Seriously, they really weren't bad. 
 
 
 
In the morning they were still naked.
 
Naked is not a bad way to cope with the melt-your-face-off heat and humidity in this part of the world, but the germ-o-phobe in me just can't help picturing those eight bare, sweaty butts pressing themselves all over the cockpit cushions and cabin upholstery for a week.  Wonder who chartered the boat the next week?  : )
