I was blissfully enveloped in my "happy place."
Most people's thoughts go to their "happy place" in time of desperate need to relieve the stresses of their normal workaday lives. But, I'm one of the lucky ones. I get to live in my "happy place" whenever I want.
I spent the first half of my career positioning myself for my current lifestyle. I have my own business that generally runs itself, and to keep things interesting, I do lots of consulting all over the world. This allows me to live anywhere I want, and also have absolute control over the time and amount of work that I take. I'm in bliss.
I live in a waterfront house in the canals off Biscayne Bay in Miami, with my beautiful wife, Keiko and daughter, Melody. We all love the water and sunshine offered by a life in Miami. Moored at my dock, next to the jet-skis and Hobbie Cat, is my awesome 50-foot ocean cruiser, aptly named the S.S. Happy Place. We take it down to the Keys on a regular basis. Our trips typically last five or six days, and usually include some friends who talk their way on board. Funny how simple acquaintances suddenly turn into your best friends when you have a boat. I enjoy the company though, and always have a blast.
This particular trip, our family of three were joined by my long-time friend Ginnie and her boyfriend Matt. Ginnie's niece, Sara, also joined us. Sara and Melody are the same age and had become quite good friends. Sara hangs out at our home quite a bit lately, but hasn't been on one of our trips to the Keys yet. The girls talked their way out of afternoon classes at the college and were home early, so they helped me stock the boat with plenty of supplies.
They were both excited about the trip and especially that lobster season had just opened. Melody just loves skin-diving for her favorite delicacy, especially when her mother applies her culinary magic. That was the story anyway, but I overheard them giggling about one of their guy friends from college, Tom I gathered, and that he was going with his parents on a boat trip the same time we were and might be moored near our usual cove. I made like I didn't hear the true reason for their excitement, but vowed to help out where a dad could.
The rest of the gang showed up soon thereafter and once all the dive gear was tied down, we were finally off. It usually took about four hours of high-speed cruising. I like taking the helm for the entire trip. It clears my head and helps me change gears between working hard all week and playtime. Everybody else hangs out either in the parlor or aft deck. Each guest in turn though, drops by to visit me during the long journey.
My wife of 20 years, Keiko, is still quite stunning as she approaches 42. She grew up in Korea, but moved to the states with her parents while still young. So she still has a little accent, but is very articulate and intelligent. I met her when she had just finished her doctorate degree. We fell in love instantly and haven't looked back. We tell people that we met at the University, but we actually met at a nudist resort.
She just loves the lifestyle in Miami and I swear she's part mermaid. The Asian in her keeps her body taught and she's not shy at all showing it off. She's tall, skinny and curvy, belying her Korean heritage, and towers over both her parents. After having our daughter, she decided to get a boob job. They are large C-cups in size, and although a little oversized for her frame, complement her style beautifully. She's quite the exhibitionist and is almost always topless when we're on the boat, even when we're in the marina.
Since we leave on these trips from our home dock, Keiko often spends the afternoon stocking the boat wearing just shorts. The neighbors don't mind at all. A retired couple live on one side, and after awhile, the wife just surrendered to her husband's gawking. A trio of gay guys live on the other side, so they don't mind a topless Keiko. But there's a lot of playful teasing going on across the short hedge. Melody and I usually keep things covered when we're in view, but I've been known to playfully flash the gay guys every now and then.
Keiko's free spirit is contagious amongst all the guests on our boat. Anybody that's invited on one of our boat trips is told about our preference to be nude on the boat. The attitude of the Florida Keys is extremely laid back and lots of people go nude both on their boat and especially in the water.
I tell first-time guests that there will be plenty of nudity, but they would never be pressured to join in. Surprisingly, nobody's backed out yet. In the seven years we've had the boat, there's probably been about 50 new guests, and I'd say at least 30 have stripped down to some degree. Some trips even evolved into impromptu weekend orgies.
After about a half hour of slow cruising in the channels, we finally reach the open ocean, which lets me get the engines up to high-power. Just as I get everything dialed-in, Ginnie's boyfriend, Matt, joins me at the helm. This is only his and Ginnie's second multi-day trip with us, but I've been scuba diving with them for years now. Matt is cool and has lots of experience around boats. He's also a fellow pilot, so we sometimes borrow a plane to keep our skills current.
Ginnie joins us shortly and I can see she's real excited about this trip, although she doesn't divulge why. I can only hope though, that she decided to get nude on this trip. Unlike last time, when both of them stayed covered. I could tell on the last trip that she kinda wanted to, but just couldn't build the courage. I've been lusting over her tight little body for a long time now. I would tease her about removing her bikini, especially when I was standing nude in front of her, but I didn't pressure her. Keiko told me in confidence of her desire to see Matt nude also, after hearing Ginnie brag about his big dick.
Ginnie and Matt left after a few minutes to rejoin the party downstairs, being almost knocked down from a couple of rambunctious girls racing their way up to the bridge. My daughter and Sara have become very good friends. Sara's family just moved to Miami about six months ago from upstate New York, and it seems they've been inseparable. In a twist of happenstance, Ginnie was telling me that her sister's family was done with the cold of New York and moved to Miami. I mentioned to Ginnie that my daughter has a new friend, who just moved down from New York.
Boy, were we surprised when we realized that my daughter's new friend, Sara, was Ginnie's niece. Needless to say, Sara probably hasn't slept all week over the excitement about going on a trip to the Keys with her best friend and aunt. And since Ginnie was going on this trip also, Sara's mother really didn't have a chance of stopping her when she was told about the nudity. She tried though, raising Sara in a very religious and prudish household. So, this trip will have an endless supply of firsts for Sara, but she'll be able to handle them.
On the bridge, I chatted with the girls for a while and gave Sara a tour, much to her fascination. I also got them to reveal that their friend from class will be on a boat in the upper Keys this week. I promised to do some checking on their location, but neither girl was sure of the boat name, except something about the wind.
The girls also asked if they could take their clothes off yet. They were respectful when asking, because Keiko and Ginnie said that if the girls wanted to be nude on the outside deck while heading down to our cove, they had to ask me first. Then in a slightly whiney tone, Melody added that her mom had been topless since noon already; and that like I tell new guests myself, the sooner you get nude, the easier it is. She had me, like she always does.
I told the girls that because we were still in the populated shipping lanes, they would have to wait here on the bridge, until I said it was ok to strip down. They agreed, and we chatted about college for the next half hour.
My daughter, Melody, was brought up with nude people all around her, so was extremely comfortable without clothes. Although, sometimes too comfortable. There were plenty of instances when our exhibitionist daughter walked off the boat, fully nude, when we tied up at the marina for gas or supplies. Neither Keiko nor I realized what had happened until we suddenly saw our naked daughter walking down the dock towards us, returning from the marina complex. Luckily we were in the Keys, so nobody really cared.
Melody took most of her features from her mother, and looked very Asian, but her tall stature and freckles were definitely from my Irish side. She had long legs and beautiful, shiny black hair down past her butt. There's no doubt she leaves plenty of stiff dicks in her wake.
Melody's sex education started pretty early, fueled by all the naked bodies around. She was a curious one growing up, and asked plenty of questions. Keiko and I are always open to her curiosity and did what we could to raise a well-adjusted young lady.
Continuing our journey to the family cove, by now the girls were getting really bored, and Melody kept pointing out that the electronic moving chart display showed that we were just about clear of the shipping lanes. Well, that's what I get for showing her how to use it. I relented, and although there were still lots of boats around, I told the girls they could go ahead and be nude on the open deck.
Melody began stripping right away, but Sara hesitated a little. It was her first time getting nude outside her home, which no doubt must be scary, but Melody reminded her about all the talks they had and that she was amongst friends. Sara looked straight at me with a nervous yet slightly annoyed look of disgust, at my unknowing stare. Melody has a gift of sensing people's thoughts and gave me a "Daaaady" sass to hint that I should stop staring.
The girls thought I must have been staring, but I was really just engaged in the conversation with the girls and didn't realize the appropriate moment to turn back to my captain duties. Girls are so much better at sensing those moments.
I turn away from the now nude Melody and visibly-trembling Sara. With a little more encouragement from Melody, I heard Sara remove her shorts and t-shirt. She wanted to stay on the fly bridge for a bit to get used to it before she went back down stairs with the others. Melody conceded, but was still antsy, so headed down to the galley to get us some drinks. She had both her own and Sara's clothes in hand, which prompted complaints from Sara. But Melody was resolute that Sara needed to get with the program quickly and wouldn't get her clothes back until we're back in Miami.
Still facing away from Sara, I asked her, "Well, how does it feel so far?"
After a long pause, she answered, "Well, it's kinda weird and really scary... but from all that Melody was telling me, I'm starting to feel that excitement that she kept raving about. Although, it's also a little awkward that I'm nude and you're not."
