How 10 Hours with No Wi-Fi Drove Me Crazy, then Set Me Free

GQ columnist Chris Black finds himself on a plane without Wi-Fi and begins to reconsider his long-term relationship with the internet. How extremely online do we really need to be? Many believe that what we do on the internet ties to our identity, and how productive we are. Black’s experience without the internet made us think: Do we need to balance our online and offline lives better? Are we relying too much on being connected all the time? Is this constant need to be online taking away from other important parts of our lives?

What the F is The Coral Triangle?

The Coral Triangle is, without question, the greatest center of biodiversity in the marine world. Even though it holds just 1.5% of the total ocean area across the globe, it houses:

76% of coral species on the planet
Nearly 50% of known marine life
Six of the world’s seven marine turtle species

The Coral Triangle is considered one of the three mega-ecological complexes on our planet, together with the Congo Basin and the Amazon Rainforest.

We stumbled on this listicle on Reef-World.org, that describes how the Coral Triangle is, well, the superlative of superlatives. It’ll probably have you looking forward to June 9th – annually designated “Coral Triangle Day”, to raise awareness about marine conservation. And to accompany our reprint of the article, we’re sharing actual photos taken by our travelers on our Everything To Sea trips. Get ready for a truly special treat…

We like Nudists, Voyeurists, and Exhibitionists. We don’t like Seeists.

What’s your insecurity? More than likely, a body part comes to mind. Hairline. Nose. Skin blemishes. Balls. It’s hard not to succumb to the negative emotions around our insecurities, and let them stop us from living life fully. Some people practice nudism in rebellion against the arbitrary societal assignment of “good” versus “bad” appearance. Screw all the bullshit of a good versus a bad stomach – a body is a body is a body. And all men’s bodies are welcome on Everything To Sea trips. We love the way this article from AlmostWild.com goes further into this topic.

Top Tips for Nude Hiking Legally (And Illegally)

“Freehiking” is the modern term for the act of hiking or walking in nature while naked. For this week’s blog post, we’d like to share an excerpt from an article on PlanetNude.substack.com. It outlines the best practices for trekking naked in nature – legally and illegally. The original article contains a disclaimer, and we’d like to add our two cents: While we enjoy nude activities like freehiking, we don’t condone illegal activity and we believe that nudity, even in settings where it’s allowed, should be practiced mindfully.

Which Queer Sea Creature Are You?

In the 1990s, marine biologists finally broke through observer bias and societal hush-hush, and came out about what’s really going on under the sea. From little Nemo the clownfish to Free Willy the orca, several species have been observed flipping genders and flopping around with the same sex. These “sea queer-tures” are the real ones making waves with copulation, mutual masturbation, gang banging, courtship, and cuddle time. Things really are better and wetter under the sea.

These are our top 3 favorite sea queer-tures that can all be found in the Coral Triangle – where we run our sailing trips.
