In response to several questions, I will further explicate on what a "whale
watch" is, in particular the one to which I was referring.

Micro-description: You go out on a ship and watch for whales to swim by.

Description: A naturist (a.k.a.  nudist, though they prefer the former term)
group in  Massachusetts sponsored a clothing-optional (a.k.a.  nude, but see
above) whale watch from Cape Cod sometime last June.  Basically, it's a day at
sea with a stop in Provincetown(?)  to see the Blessing of the Fleet and then
the rest of the day looking for whales.  (Only the part outside the three-mile
limit is clothing-optional.)  Unfortunately the weather was bad, the seas
choppy, and most people seasick.  (Just thought I'd warn you how bad it might
be.)  We didn't go, because we heard about it from a friend too late.  I hope
to hear earlier so that we can make plans.

> But do you mean the watch with nude whales, or nude whale-watchers?

The whale-watchers may or may not be nude (it's clothing *optional*); the
whales will be.  (It's a cultural thing with them, I guess. :-) )
