I say, "I don't want to look out of place and hey, no one knows who we are anyway. You only go around once in life, so why not." I was never one who, when growing up, would try or do things that were bold and daring. Never did drugs or alcohol, but I did smoke. About time I did something bold and daring!! And boy do you feel different walking along the beach in your birthday suit. I had my suit in my hand along with the door key from our room at the Alamanda. Only other thing I had on was my hat. We walked the entire way to the end of Club O. I put my hat, suit and key on a lounge chair and we both hopped in the water to cool off. After a short dip, I gathered my stuff and we headed back down the beach. When we came to where our resort was we decided it was time for breakfast. We had many more mornings to walk the entire beach. I got back into my suit and we headed up to our room to get some cash so we could get some French pastries at the Tap 5 convenience store. When we got back to the room I suddenly realized that I didn't have the key. Checked the liner of my hat, but no key. OK, guess I was heading back down the beach to check where I had placed it. When we re-entered the Club O property we saw that they were raking the beach where I had placed my hat, key and suit. Looked anyway, but no key. We returned and I went to the desk and told Geraldine, the desk clerk that I had lost my room key on the beach. Didn't add the part about not having a suit on though. "Mr. Woods, we usually charge $50 for a lost key, but I have an extra one back here and can give that to you without a charge." Carol said, "Tomorrow morning I will carry the key. Seems you can't walk naked and carry a key at the same time!" "But, who is going to carry the key the next day when you are naked also?" I said to her, seeing the look in her eye and knowing that she was up for something bold and daring also. Did that happen? I'm certainly not going to publish that!! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The "Lost Key" Story
It was an ordinary day. Carol and I are taking an early morning stroll on Orient Beach in St. Martin. We are staying at the Alamanda which is a resort about in the middle of Orient Beach. The beach is a 2 1/2 mile long stretch of soft, white sand along water which has all the shades and hues of cyan. We exit the resort and turn to our right and head towards the south end of the beach where Club O, the naturist resort is located. This is a 30 acre resort which opened in 1981 and is packed all the time. Eat, sleep, drink and suntan in the nude. Don't need to bring a suitcase if you are staying there. We enjoy walking along water's edge since the sand is more firm at that point. Very few people walking today. It is the off season and most people like to stay in bed while on vacation. The sun just came up and the sky is beautiful. We notice that the majority of the people walking the beach at this time of morning are nude. Both men and women. Some really should have a sit on!! We walk another 100 yards and cross into Club O. Can tell by the sign warning about no cameras beyond this point and I tell Carol I'm going to try that, also. She just looks at me kind of funny and I say, "I don't want to look out of place and hey, no one knows who we are anyway. You only go around once in life, so why not." I was never one who, when growing up, would try or do things that were bold and daring. Never did drugs or alcohol, but I did smoke. About time I did something bold and daring!!
