Per Guinness protocols, you will need to register to be counted.  Registration will begin at 10 AM at Haulover.  The 3 PM skinny-dip will be coordinated with skinny-dips at nudist resorts and c/o beaches throughout North America to get the total number of skinny-dippers for the record book.  (Please note the NNW rain dates do not apply to this event, since it will be nationally coordinated.) Can't make it to Haulover?  For a list of participating groups, click on the AANR logo above.

Quote of the Month
Khalil GibranAnd the weaver said, "Speak to us of Clothes." And he answered:
Your clothes conceal much of your beauty, yet they hide not the unbeautiful. And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.

Would that you could meet the sun and the wind with more of your skin and less of your raiment, For the breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.

Some of you say, "It is the north wind who has woven the clothes to wear." But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread. And when his work was done he laughed in the forest.
 
 - Khalil Gibran:  The Prophet, Ch. 10
 
Naked Sport in New Zealand
nude rugby
A nude tradition in New Zealand:  the annual nude touch rugby match, featuring members of the All Blacks New Zealand national team, held on New Zealand's National Nude Day on the South Island.  The 2009 match (photo above) was held in a park in Dunedin, New Zealand's oldest city, with a population of 125,000.
 
New Zealand, with a population of less than 5 million, has 11 recognized, commonly used nude beaches.  [map]   The New Zealand Naturist Beach Group notes: "The High Court has determined that [nudity] happening in a place 'where it is know to occur' or 'is not uncommon' is a defence to the only charge currently applied to innocent nakedness: 'disorderly behaviour.'  The police's head of the Prosecution Service in the Office of the Commissioner, Graham Thomas, has acknowledged that forensically, these occurrences can be 'said to be "not illegal".' "   
 
 
 
 
Popular naturist beach under threat in CA
 
Since 1979, CA state beaches have been governed by the Cahill policy, wherein the State Park Dept, while refusing to designate c/o beaches, put in place a policy of not interfering with skinny-dippers absent a public complaint, and then only arresting skinny-dippers who failed to dress upon request.
 
San Onofre State Beach is one of the few accepted c/o beach areas in Southern California, near Los Angeles.  In 2008, an attempt was made to end c/o use there, which naturist interests  blocked in superior court.  On June 25, 2009, a CA court of appeals reversed that decision; there is a fourteen day period in which an appeal may be filed.
