Thank you for being part of "Sail Away Nude 2026"!
12 noon call-time to sign in and get your boarding wristband
12:30 Boarding starts, 1-4 pm cruise.
There are likely still spots available! So if you know anyone who wants to join in, the link to the purchase page is here - bodyfest.org/sailaway - if we fill up, I will take down the payment page.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW EVERYTHING BELOW EVEN IF YOU'VE BEEN ON THIS TRIP BEFORE!
The ship is called "Challenge" and is docked on the waterfront right by Harbourfront Centre which is at Queens Quay West and Lower Simcoe St. Just walk to the waterfront, turn right for a short bit, and you should see our group forming down there by the docks starting at noon.
I'm happy to announce that Mr. Finch (Ron) will be performing on the deck off and on through the afternoon.
Details...
Do not bring extra people without asking me first - there is a max capacity!
Please arrive at 12 noon or earlier so you have lots of time to check-in. We'll verify each of you on our list then give you a release form to complete, and a boarding wristband. Boarding starts at 12:30. Departure is 1 PM. Return is 4 PM .
Parking... There is an underground parking area close by. At Queens Quay West and Lower Simcoe St pull into the driveway (south) and it curves into the garage entrance. Parking will cost you around $35 and you need to be out by 6 PM or they'll charge you more. There is an elevator that brings you back up to ground level. From there just walk toward the water for a couple of minutes and at the edge turn right and continue for a short bit.
Food and Drink...
There is a cash bar on deck. They serve alcohol. Bring your own snacks and water to sustain you for the afternoon. Please take your own garbage with you at the end.
There are some below-deck areas where you can leave your clothing and other items you have brought with you. I do not guarantee security of your valuables, so work that out for yourself. *** I'm sad to say that inn 2025 someone reported a theft of a wallet taken out of their knapsack while they went briefly to the bar!
When the ship starts to head out please wait a bit before disrobing. We want to be a reasonable distance from shore.
Photography/Video...
Most of you already know that I usually incorporate some photography/video into the events I organize. The visual content could become part of my websites and/or be used to promote events and positive image of Naturism generally. In 2024 we focused on video. This year we are back to mainly photos. You are able to wear a yellow wrist band indicating you do not want to be recognized in images so that photographers can avoid you. I recommend that photo-sensitive people hang out together at the rear of the boat. All photos come back to me to check over and modify as needed. You might want to send a photo of yourself to me later so I know who's who.
Please put away your PHONE. Do not hang out with a phone in your hand. People will think you are doing something you should not be doing. You can take the occasional phone photo of just you and your friends provided you face the phone/camera out toward the water. Then put your phone away.
It can be brisk and windy on these lake trips so having a poncho or shawl might be handy if you are sensitive to cool wind. We do want to express our Naturist ideals, but I also do not want anyone to suffer or become ill. Historically, these outings have always been warm enough.
Use sunscreen!
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
