This story is part of a series. Chapters 1 through 6 will provide context. Hopefully, however, this story may also be enjoyed as a stand-alone work. As a brief background, the protagonists, Sara and Harry, sailed with new friends Dieter and Birgit to Antigua. Neither Sara nor Harry took any clothes for this trip. On Antigua, they met recent graduates Zoe and Derek and introduced them to nudism and exhibition. Zoe and Derek are going back to Martinique with Sara and Harry.
In contrast to our leisurely sail to Antigua, Dieter was in a hurry going back. He was dropping the four of us at our cove on Martinique and he and Birgit were then going on to Bonaire. To accommodate our hosts' schedule, we agreed to sail through the night. It turned out that Derek was an experienced sailor, and I was learning fast. He and I agreed to stand an overnight watch so that Dieter and Birgit could get some sleep. Sara and Zoe stayed up with us.
In truth, there was not that much to do. The auto-pilot was on and we should not need to change course until after sunrise. It was a clear, peaceful night. Apart from our conversation, the only sound was the hull cutting through the water.
We chatted with Zoe and Derek about many things. Eventually, Zoe began to ask about our clothes-free experiences. Since Sara has taken to going nude with an almost religious zeal, it doesn't take much to start her proudly recounting our naked adventures. I was grateful that Sara left out our early live sex show, even though that led to our present early retirement. Sara did recount how I was completely nude when she and I first met. She also told them about the nude swimming competition in France. It seemed that Zoe was impressed with our exploits and even Derek, whose reactions to everything seemed muted, expressed appreciation.
I felt some trepidation when Sara began telling the story of our trip to Antigua. As I feared, Sara could not leave out our encounter with the young lovers, and her parents, on an uninhabited beach on Guadeloupe.
Zoe started laughing. "You decided to teach them the cowgirl position by using it on him and having his girlfriend use it on Harry with her parents watching? And you'd just met these people?"
I think Sara actually blushed. ""Well . . . yes. I grant you that it wasn't my best impulse ever, but it seemed so right at that moment."
Zoe focused on me. "What was your thought about all this?"
I responded, "the young lady was obviously inexperienced. I was just trying to help." That got me a small chuckle.
Zoe's next question was, "so, you two take other sex partners?"
Sara answered, "just that once. We don't have an 'open' relationship."
Zoe kept at it. "Would you take other partners?'
Sara thought for a moment. "I can't say never, but we would both have to agree and the other person or persons would have to be someone with whom we had formed a strong bond."
Zoe caught her on that one. "Just like the couple on the beach?"
Sara laughed. "No, I don't think we'll do that again ever. Just say we were drunk on sun and sea and sand."
The conversation wandered on to other topics. Finally, Derek injected a practical note.
"Is there anything we can do to earn money on Martinique?" he asked. "Zoe and I made some on Antigua, but that will not last a long time."
Sara left that for me to answer. "Possibly, we'll look into it. But, I think we can help you keep your expenses down. You can stay with us, we have a spare bedroom. You can eat, and drink for that matter, for free at the bar as our guests. That was what Sara and I got in return for giving up our interest in the bar and the other house."
Derek objected, "we don't wish to sponge off of you."
"You won't be," I replied. You staying at the house costs us nothing, and providing food and drink to us all is, in substance, the price of our buyout from the bar. I'm sure that you'll want to move on at some point, but it is really no imposition on us."
Derek still seemed dubious, although Zoe seemed satisfied. He did drop the topic.
Dieter and Birgit were up with the sun. Dieter handled the changes of tack which brought his boat into the small cove in front of our new house before 10:00 a.m. We traded contact information with Dieter and Birgit, and hugged each of them. We used Dieter's zodiac to get Zoe's and Derek's bags ashore. Of course, Sara and I had brought virtually nothing to Antigua.
We opened the house, dropped our guests' bags in the spare bedroom, and opened every window for air. Sara gave Zoe and Derek the nickel tour.
"There is no need to wear anything anywhere in the house or on our property. The bar is about a ten minute walk along that path" as she gestured. "It is perfectly ok to go to the bar nude as well. In fact, you'll probably stand out if you're dressed. There is a small tub and shower in the house, but the good shower is outside in back. That's what we use. There is a small cabinet there where we keep towels, soap, and shampoo. Swimming in the cove is very safe. Harry and I usually do every morning. Tomorrow, we can throw on pareos and I'll show you a bit of the island and the best markets."
Having been up all night, all four of us were very fatigued. By unstated mutual agreement, the two couples went to their respective bedrooms. I lay down on the bed and Sara lay on top of me. Quickly, we were both out. (Historically, I move around a lot in my sleep. However, Sara likes to sleep on top of me. She must have a calming effect because we've never had a problem.)
We slept until early evening. I assume that Zoe and Derek took a nap as well, but they were up when Sara and I awoke. Sara and I took a quick shower together outside. We both loved the outdoor shower, which consisted of a pipe going up a column to a very large shower head, a large concrete slab with a drain in the center, and a weatherproof cabinet a few feet away. With no walls, the shower allowed us to enjoy any breeze, and we had a view of part of the cove. A small boat went buy while we were showering. Whoever was in the boat waved, and we waved back. Sara and I toweled each other off. Then we collected Zoe and Derek and the four of us walked nude to the bar.
