Traveltalkonline: West of Smith Point Long Island (Cont'd)

I thought about what Ms. Carol Hill said and realized that in fact, it was not a smart idea to post any personal information. Therefore, I decided to throw everyone off and try my nude "experiment" today, rather than Friday. I drove from my home to Patchogue and took the 8:45 ferry that got me to Watch Hill. I got onto the ferry in flip-flops and a bikini. Trying to ride the ferry butt naked would be too obvious, hee hee. Once I arrived at Watch Hill, I tipped the ferry crew and started walking towards Smith Point. After approximately 15-20 minutes of walking, I found that not a soul was in sight. I removed my flip-flops and stripped off my bikini. I threw everything into my drawstring bag and began jogging. At this point, it was 10:29, and until 11:24, (ALMOST AN HOUR!) I did not see any people on the beach.(I know this because I checked my cell phone.) At this point, I was only about two miles in. (It is extremely difficult to run in the sand!) However, I had an outstanding pace going, and I did not want it to end. Therefore, I proceeded to cover myself up as best I could without having to put my clothes back on. I realized that it was three girls tanning TOPLESS, so I wasn't the only one "breaking the rules." After another 35 minutes of jogging at a slower pace, my feet were on fire and my breasts were hurting. It was incredibly hot today! Even worse, I REALIZED THAT I WASN'T EVEN HALF WAY TO SMITH POINT! I jumped in the water and relaxed for a good 20-25 minutes. The next time I checked my phone, it was 12:35. I was having a blast, and better yet, I was doing it in the nude. I stopped jogging altogether and walked for another two miles. I KID YOU NOT, two park rangers in a pickup truck passed me by at about 50 MILES PER HOUR! ON THE BEACH! If there were actually any people on the beach, they would have been crushed. They clearly saw me but said absolutely nothing. I think one of them waved but I'm not sure. Anyway, my point is, there are other people on the beach who are doing "illegal things" that are worse than me running around naked. The PARK RANGERS were committing actions that were far more detrimental to the existence of the nude beach than I was. I made it a little over half way to Smith Point, but I was too exhausted and dehydrated to continue. It was 2:15, and I was ready to head back. However, I was SO TIRED that I threw down my drawstring bag, lied down in the sand, and fell asleep. YES! ASLEEP! I was close enough to some trees that I was able to relax in the shade. Even then, sleeping naked on the beach, no one said anything. NO ONE! That's because there is absolutely no one around except for a handful of birds. I'm not sure why this land is completely deserted, but it is absolutely perfect for recreational nudity. I DIDN'T WAKE UP until 2:50 (It may have been the greatest nap I ever took, aside from the sand in my butt cheeks, lol.) I started heading back at a leisurely pace and everything was going great. I knew that the last ferry left at 715 (or so I thought), and I planned on taking my time and grabbing a bite to eat before heading back to Patchogue on the 715 ferry. Because I had jogged/walked more than 5 miles to smith point, my return trip was going to be a lengthy one. After walking for about a mile, I stopped to dip my feet in the water and check on a mosquito bite that had appeared on my thigh. Still nobody in sight. NONETHELESS, THANK GOODNESS I STOPPED. I had printed out the ferry schedule the night before and thrown it in my drawstring bag. When I double checked the schedule, I noticed that the 715 ferry back to Patchogue was only available on FRIDAY!!! TODAY WAS WEDNESDAY! The last ferry left at 545! It was 3:45 and I still had like 4 miles left! I PANICKED. I REALIZED THAT MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION BACK TO PATCHOGUE WAS THE FERRY! I had to start running again. Luckily, my adrenaline kicked in and I was able to run 2 miles in under an hour. However, at 430, I was absolutely BEAT! At this point, I had passed a couple of people (about 5) who were lying on beach towels but didn't see me. I WAS STILL NAKED! NO ONE SAID ANYTHING! Once again my feet were red as a rose and my breasts were in pain. I could see a pretty decent crowd of people in the distance and didn't want to risk it. I put my bikini on and kept trudging along. I think I miscalculated how far I was from the ferries because I WALKED there in a little under an hour. It was 5:20 and I had 20 minutes to just relax. I lost my flip-flops, so I boarded the ferry barefoot (oh, well) and headed home. In retrospect, this was the greatest experience of MY LIFE! IT WAS SO FREEING! I was completely naked, from head to toe, from 10:30-4:30, roughly. That's 6 hours of complete nudity. 5 people saw me and said nothing. I passed another 5 who didn't even see me. The point that I'm trying to make is that recreational nudity is no big deal as long as you do it in private. It doesn't necessarily have to be on a "clothing optional" beach. I did nothing to endanger CO beaches. I will CERTAINLY do this again sometime soon. I encourage you to try this at least once. I had done this 3 times before, but it was never this much FUN!!!!!
