Default upcoming Wreck Beach events

Hi all,

A couple of things might be of interest to some concerning Wreck Beach in Vancouver, BC. First off, tomorrow is the bare buns fun run. A few years back, I attended this and it was great. After the race, there were awards, food and official photos. A small but quality group of young women participated.

Also, next weekend (Jul 11th) I have heard that an attempt is going to be made at WReck to break the record for the most people ever to "skinny dip" at one time. This is for the Guiness Book of World Records. I do not know what the current record is, but it would be very useful to know. I mean, it would make a huge difference if the record is 800 as opposed to 80. Anyway, also, to participate, I believe one has to be fully nude. And now - how do you think this is going to be documented? Wouldn't you need a photographer on hand perhaps, or an official from Guiness? Anyway, I wish I could attend but can't. Depending on the time of day they are going to attempt this, there could be a thousand out there, fully nude, skinny dipping all at once. And how many babes might go the full monty just to help break the record? Wouldn't you love to show up and help out too - it might almost be like being in a Spencer Tunick shoot. But I do hope I have my info right, and it would be good to get some verification on all this before heading up to BC. But getting back to the photography - ordinarily, photos are not permitted at Wreck. But at both of these events I mentioned, there may be official photogs. I know there will be at the run. And if there are official photogs, then possibly there will be pics on the net or opportunities to sneak a few yourself (but you could be told to put your camera away too. Still, it might be worth a try). So that is why the heads up - Wreck is fun enough as it is without these types of events. Throw them in and you are going to have a whale of a time. And ordinarily, I don't encourage anyone to go there and take pics, but this is a little different - occasionally Wreckers do things that they actually WANT preserved for posterity.

cheers,

Klondike
