The photos are taken in Cap D'Agde South France about 20 years ago. In the biggest nudist village from Europe.

So, imagine the problems going out and landing again on the beach between, in summertime, 50.000 tourists on a beach of about 1 mile.

I've learned to steer without rudders overthere, that's for sure.
And my French is adequate with regard to shouting things.

And I have a loud voice. And Frenchmen respect sailors and there boats. I had a tekst on the side of the hulls:
"patinavoileapoile"" which was a jokingly corruption of: patin-a-voile a-poile.

Meaning : skate with sail in total nudity.

Remember the Spanish name for this cat is Patin a Vela which stands also for skate with sail.
