One of my favorite images from this episode is Kate, sober in her jammies but trying to appear game while Jaclyn and Laurie cavort with the Russians before finally calling “bedtime.”

But try to mingle and cavort outdoors or in well-ventilated areas.

The perennially under-construction compound, with its “oleander … and old milk cartons … R. Crumb comics, empty tea and coffee mugs, and ashtrays,” was often inhabited, Moon writes, by naked strangers “cavorting or making candles.”

And after a week of juggling personal, professional and financial responsibilities, sometimes cavorting with singing pirates and dancing dolls simply takes the edge off.

As summer sends more of us out to these cavorting grounds to stand above the ocean and eat and play and fish and don’t-you-dare-smoke, it’s a good moment to know a bit more about them.
